Improving Model Generalization: A Chinese Named Entity Recognition Case Study (2021.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a fundamental building block for various downstream natural language processing tasks due to the ambiguous word boundaries and complex composition. |
| Approach: | They propose to resample entities within the same category to encourage a model to leverage both name and context knowledge in the training process. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method significantly improves a model’s ability to detect unseen entities, especially for company, organization and position categories. |

| Challenge: | TDSA aims to classify the sentiment of a text towards a given target. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel Target-Guided Structured Attention Network (TG-SAN) which captures target-related contexts for TDSA in a fine-to-coarse manner. |
| Outcome: | The proposed network outperforms the state-of-the-art in terms of accuracy and Marco-F1 on three benchmarks with three major findings. |
