Hello Fellow Zindians,

Thank you @Zindi and MICROSOFT LEARN for such an amazing competition. My solution was Finetuning a bunch of Open Source models. At last the best performing one for me was gemma2-9b model. I used an open source framework called UnslothAI which is super cool. If you have never heard of it you should check it out.

Here is the Link to the github repo:

koleshjr/Microsoft-Learn-Location-Mention-Recognition-Challenge: Can you identify locations in a tweet?

Please leave a star if you find it interesting as it motivates me to open source more of my work and hopefully the winners will also share their solutions so that we can learn from them.

Thank you!
