## Examples 3: Tagging
This task is a named entity recognition task. The following sections detail model preparation, dataset preparation, and how to run the task.

### Step 1: Prepare Pre-trained Models & Datasets

#### Pre-trianed Model

The pre-training model of this mission is: [ernie-zh-base](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PALM/tree/r0.3-api).

Make sure you have downloaded the required pre-training model in the current folder.


#### Dataset

This task uses the `MSRA-NER(SIGHAN2006)` dataset. 

Download dataset:
```shell
python download.py
```

If everything goes well, there will be a folder named `data/`  created with all the datas in it.

The data should have 2 fields,  `text_a  label`, with tsv format. Here is some example datas:

 ```

 ```



### Step 2: Train & Predict

The code used to perform classification task is in `run.py`. If you have prepared the pre-training model and the data set required for the task, run:

```shell
python run.py
```

If you want to specify a specific gpu or use multiple gpus for training, please use **`CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`**, for example:

```shell
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2 python run.py
```

Some logs will be shown below:

```
step 1/652 (epoch 0), loss: 216.002, speed: 0.32 steps/s
step 2/652 (epoch 0), loss: 202.567, speed: 1.28 steps/s
step 3/652 (epoch 0), loss: 170.677, speed: 1.05 steps/s
```

After the run, you can view the saved models in the `outputs/` folder and the predictions in the `outputs/predict` folder. Here are some examples of predictions:


```
[6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 4, 4, 6, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6]
[6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6]
[6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6]
```

### Step 3: Evaluate

Once you have the prediction, you can run the evaluation script to evaluate the model:

```python
python evaluate.py
```

The evaluation results are as follows:

```
precision: 0.948718989809, recall: 0.944806113784, f1: 0.946758508914
```
