Challenge: Named entity recognition (NER) models trained on CoNLL do not transfer well to other domains, even within the same language.
Approach: They propose a token-level gating layer to augment pre-trained multilingual transformers with gazetteers containing named entities (NE) from a target language or domain.
Outcome: The proposed model improves on cross-lingual transfer with an F1 score of 92.92 for English and an average of 89.43 across all languages in CoNLL.
