WikiNEuRal: Combined Neural and Knowledge-based Silver Data Creation for Multilingual NER (2021.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a key intermediate task in NLP. |
| Approach: | They propose a method which uses knowledge-based approaches and neural models to produce high-quality training corpora for NER. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves on standard benchmarks and yields significant improvements up to 6 span-based F1-score points over previous state-of-the-art systems for data creation. |

| Challenge: | Autoregressive decoding limits the efficiency of transformers for Machine Translation (MT) Existing methods to solve this problem are expensive and require changes to the model. |
| Approach: | They propose to reframe autoregressive decoding with a parallel formulation . they propose to speed up existing models without training or modifications while retaining translation quality. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model speeds up existing models without training or modifications while retaining translation quality. |
