Challenge: Existing approaches to named entity recognition (NER) focus on reducing discrepancy between tokens and tokens, but transfer of valuable label information is often not considered or ignored.
Approach: They propose a framework that borrows entity information from the source domain to enhance NER in the target domain.
Outcome: The proposed model improves over the state-of-the-art model on several datasets.
