Exploring Cross-sentence Contexts for Named Entity Recognition with BERT (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Named entity recognition (NER) is often addressed as a sequence classification task with each input consisting of one sentence of text. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to combine different predictions from multiple sentences in input samples to increase NER performance. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves on the state-of-the-art NER results on English, Dutch, and Finnish and achieves the best reported BERT-based results on German. |
