This model is a fine-tuned version of a BERT model for Named Entity Recognition (NER) specifically designed to identify and mask sensitive information in Arabic text.

Model Description

This model can identify entities that should be masked for privacy protection, such as:

• Personal names
• Email addresses
• Company names
• Other sensitive information

Usage

from transformers import pipeline

# Load the model
ner_pipeline = pipeline("ner", model="imabedalghafer/arabic-ner-masking")

# Example usage
text = "مرحبا يا أحمد، يمكنك إرسال البريد إلى [email protected]"
results = ner_pipeline(text)
print(results)

Training Data
