**bert-base-multilingual-cased-masakhaner** is the first **Named Entity Recognition** model for 9 African languages (Hausa, Igbo, Kinyarwanda, Luganda, Nigerian Pidgin, Swahilu, Wolof, and Yorùbá) based on a fine-tuned mBERT base model. It achieves the **state-of-the-art performance** for the NER task. It has been trained to recognize four types of entities: dates & times (DATE), location (LOC), organizations (ORG), and person (PER).
