In this paper we present our approach and system description on Task 7a in ProfNer-ST: Identification of profession & occupation in Health related Social Media. Our main contribution is to show the effectiveness of using BETO-Spanish BERT as a model based on transformers pretrained with a Spanish Corpus for classification tasks. In our experiments we compared several architectures based on transformers with others based on classical machine learning algorithms. With this approach, we achieved an F1-score of 0.92 in the evaluation process.
