# WG-IndicBERT
|
| 21 |
+
|
| 22 |
+
A token classification model fine-tuned from [IndicBERT v2](https://huggingface.co/ai4bharat/IndicBERTv2-MLM-only) for **Indic Word Grouping** (Local Word Group identification). Developed as part of the BHASHA 2025 Shared Task 2: IndicWG.

## What it does
|
| 33 |
+
|
| 34 |
+
Given an input sentence in Hindi, the model identifies **Local Word Groups (LWGs)** — semantically cohesive sequences of words that convey a single complete meaning (e.g., noun compounds, postpositional groups, verb groups with auxiliaries, light verb constructions).
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+
The task is modeled as **BIO token classification** with three labels: `B` (beginning of a group), `I` (inside a group), `O` (outside / delimiter). The output is reconstructed into grouped sentences using `__` as the group boundary separator.
|
| 37 |
+
|
| 38 |
+
**Exact Match Accuracy: 52.73% on the official test set**

## Quick Start
|
| 43 |
+
|
| 44 |
+
```python
|
| 45 |
+
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification
|
| 46 |
+
import torch
|
| 47 |
+
|
| 48 |
+
model_name = "manavdhamecha77/WG-IndicBERT"
|
| 49 |
+
|
| 50 |
+
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
|
| 51 |
+
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
|
| 52 |
+
|
| 53 |
+
device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
|
| 54 |
+
model.to(device)
|
| 55 |
+
|
| 56 |
+
sentence = "राम ने बाजार से सब्जियां खरीदीं।"
|
| 57 |
+
|
| 58 |
+
inputs = tokenizer(sentence, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=128).to(device)
|
| 59 |
+
|
| 60 |
+
with torch.no_grad():
|
| 61 |
+
outputs = model(**inputs)
|
| 62 |
+
|
| 63 |
+
predictions = torch.argmax(outputs.logits, dim=-1)[0].tolist()
|
| 64 |
+
tokens = tokenizer.convert_ids_to_tokens(inputs["input_ids"][0])
|
| 65 |
+
|
| 66 |
+
# Label map: {0: "B", 1: "I", 2: "O"}
|
| 67 |
+
id2label = {0: "B", 1: "I", 2: "O"}
|
| 68 |
+
|
| 69 |
+
for token, pred in zip(tokens, predictions):
|
| 70 |
+
if token not in ["[CLS]", "[SEP]", "[PAD]"]:
|
| 71 |
+
print(f"{token:20s} {id2label[pred]}")
|
| 72 |
+
```

## Training Details
|
| 77 |
+
|
| 78 |
+
The model is fine-tuned using `AutoModelForTokenClassification` with a class-weighted cross-entropy loss to address the dominant `O`-label imbalance. Labels are aligned to subword tokens using the tokenizer's `word_ids()` helper; only the first subword of each word is labeled, with subsequent subwords set to `-100`.

## Evaluation
|
| 95 |
+
|
| 96 |
+
| Model | Dev EM (%) | Test EM (%) |
|
| 97 |
+
|---|---|---|
|
| 98 |
+
| MuRIL | 46.58 | 58.18 |
|
| 99 |
+
| XLM-Roberta | 39.00 | 53.36 |
|
| 100 |
+
| **IndicBERT v2 (this model)** | **35.40** | **52.73** |
|
| 101 |
+
|
| 102 |
+
Evaluation metric: **Exact Match Accuracy** — a prediction is correct only if the entire reconstructed grouped sentence matches the gold output exactly.

## Limitations
|
| 107 |
+
|
| 108 |
+
- Trained and evaluated on Hindi only; generalization to other Indic languages is not guaranteed.
|
| 109 |
+
- Performance degrades on longer sentences (>40 words).
|
| 110 |
+
- IndicBERT v2 was pretrained with MLM only, without task-specific fine-tuning on sequence labeling, which may explain its slightly lower performance compared to MuRIL on this task.
|
| 111 |
+
- Gold annotations contain inconsistencies in multiword expressions and light-verb constructions, which caps achievable exact-match accuracy.
