Hello Everyone,  
I am new to hugging face models. I would like to use electra (electra-large-discriminator-finetuned-conll03-english) for entity recognition. I was unable to find the code to do it. Pointing me in the right direction would be a great help.

Thanks

Hello @swaraj, if I understand correctly you’d like to use Electra for inference right? If yes, then the simplest thing would be to use the `pipeline` abstraction: [Summary of the tasks — transformers 4.3.0 documentation](https://huggingface.co/transformers/task_summary.html#named-entity-recognition)

You can specify the model name to `electra-large-discriminator-finetuned-conll03-english` which should download the model from the hub and load it in the pipeline for tagging.
