Papers with Distantly-supervised named entity recognition
Label Refinement via Contrastive Learning for Distantly-Supervised Named Entity Recognition (2022.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to locate and classify entities using knowledge bases and unlabeled corpus are expensive and limited application. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a method to directly learn the distant label refinement knowledge by imitating annotations of different qualities and comparing them in contrastive learning frameworks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can give modified suggestions on distant data without additional supervised labels and thus reduces the requirement on the quality of the knowledge bases. |
Noise-Robust Training with Dynamic Loss and Contrastive Learning for Distantly-Supervised Named Entity Recognition (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Named entity recognition (NER) is a task in natural language processing that aims at locating entity mentions in a given sentence and assigning them to certain types. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a dynamic loss function to better adapt to the changing noise during the training process and incorporate token level contrastive learning to fully utilize the noisy data. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms existing NER models on three benchmark datasets and outperformed existing models by significant margins. |
