# WISER

Welcome to WISER (*Weak and Indirect Supervision for Entity Recognition*), a system for training sequence tagging models, particularly neural networks for named entity recognition (NER) and related tasks. WISER uses *weak supervision* in the form of rules to train these models, as opposed to hand-labeled training data.

## Benchmarks

| Method | NCBI-Disease (F1) | BC5CDR (F1) | LaptopReview (F1) |
| ------------- |-------------| -----| -----|
| AutoNER | 75.52 | 82.13 | 65.44 |
| Snorkel | 73.41 | 82.24 | 63.54 |
| WISER | **79.03** | **82.94** | **69.04** |

## Getting Started

These instructions will WISER up and running on your local machine to develop your own pipelines for weakly supervised for sequence tagging tasks.

### Installing

WISER requires Python 3.7. To install the required dependencies, please run

```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Or alternatively

```
conda install --file requirements.txt
```

Then, inside the *wiser* directory, please run

```
pip install .
```

## Getting Started

Refer to *tutorial/introduction* for a comprehensive introduction to using WISER to train end-to-end frameworks with weak supervision. More tutorials coming soon!

Once you're comfortable with the WISER framework, we recommend looking at our [FAQ](https://github.com/BatsResearch/wiser/blob/master/FAQ.md) for strategies on how to write rules and debug your pipeline.
