Where the model shines — hard cases handled well
The flip side of KNOWN_LIMITATIONS.md: difficult inputs
the model gets right. These are exactly the cases a plain dictionary / regex
or a non-OCR-augmented model tends to miss.
All inputs are synthetic (fictional names). Outputs are the model's actual
predictions (quantized ONNX, recall-first PER threshold 0.2). Reproduce with
strong_cases.py.
OCR-garbled names (the variant's headline strength)
Names corrupted by optical character recognition — still recognised:
| Input | Behind the garble | Model |
|---|---|---|
Pozwany Damian Zotadek wniósł odpowiedź na pozew. |

Pełnomocnik: Ptek Gostoiski, adwokat. |

Polish inflection (declension)
Polish surnames change form by grammatical case; the model tags the full inflected surface, not just the nominative:
| Input | Case | Model |
|---|---|---|
Pozew skierowano przeciwko Jerzemu Sekule. |
dative | PER 'Jerzemu Sekule' |
Sprawa dotyczy akt Wojciecha Michalika. |
genitive | PER 'Wojciecha Michalika' |
Tricky surface forms
| Input | Why it's hard | Model |
|---|---|---|

Multiple types + public/private distinction
Jan Kowalski, zam. ul. Słoneczna 5 w Krakowie, PESEL 02070803628.
PER 'Jan Kowalski'
LOC 'ul. Słoneczna 5' ← private address (masked)
LOC_PUB 'Krakowie' ← public city (kept by default)
ID '02070803628' ← national id (PESEL)
The model keeps the public place (Krakowie) visible while masking the private
street address (ul. Słoneczna 5) — so the legal context survives anonymisation.
