Lovely Living with Machines releases some videos with our thoughts on the project and what we learned. It is such a good case study showing that responsible AI starts with data - from its physical and digital provenance to the rights of creators and organisations involved.

This model is designed for spatial role labelling, i.e. identify and classify text spans corresponding to named entities, nominal mentions as well as nested named entities, spatial relations, and other geo relevant information within French encyclopedic entries.
