| Challenge: | Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a lowerlevel task that aims to provide class labels like Person, Location, Organisation, Time, and Number to words in free text. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a standard-abiding Hindi NER dataset to analyze the annotations of a class of naming entities in free text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset achieves a weighted F1 score of 88.78 with all the tags and 92.22 when we collapse the tag-set. |
Mitigating Out-of-Entity Errors in Named Entity Recognition: A Sentence-Level Strategy (2025.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models of named entity recognition (NER) suffer from the problem of Out-of-Entity (OOE), which hinders the achievement of satisfactory performance. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework which fully leverages sentence-level information to improve OOE-NER performance by exploiting pre-trained language models' ability to understand target entity’s sentence context with a template set and refines sentence representation based on positive and negative templates. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art models on five datasets on named entity recognition (NER) tasks. |
Do “English” Named Entity Recognizers Work Well on Global Englishes? (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Most of English named entity recognition datasets contain American or British English data . multiple problems may occur in low-resource English contexts, such as confusion of named entities with regionspecific meanings . |
| Approach: | They build a newswire dataset to analyze NER model performance on low-resource English variants . they find that models trained on the CoNLL or OntoNotes datasets experienced significant performance drops . |
| Outcome: | The results show that models trained on the CoNLL or OntoNotes datasets experienced significant performance drops. |
Sentence-Level Resampling for Named Entity Recognition (2022.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | named entity recognition (NER) tasks are often dominated by the majority of non-entity tokens in text . a data imbalance problem is causing the NER models to ignore named entities . |
| Approach: | They propose a set of sentence-level resampling methods to reduce data imbalance . they use a training sentence to compute the importance of each training sentence based on its tokens and entities . |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods outperform sub-sentence-level resampling, data augmentation, and loss functions on multiple corpora. |
Comparing Annotated Datasets for Named Entity Recognition in English Literature (2022.lrec-1)
