I released some fine-tuned transformer models for Dutch #NLProc: NER & PoS (CGN tagset), built on BERTje or RobBERT. Usable with huggingface's transformers, rust-bert, and later with the upcoming DeepFrog! https://github.com/proycon/deepfrog

Ik snap die nieuwe elleboogbegroeting niet, is dat niet dezelfde elleboog waarin we geacht worden te niezen? Kunnen we niet gewoon een beleefd doch afstandelijk buiginkje doen zoals de japanners? #こんにちは
