It has been shown that named entity recognition (NER) could benefit from incorporating the long-distance structured information captured by dependency trees. We believe this is because both types of features - the contextual information captured by the linear sequences and the structured information captured by the dependency trees may complement each other. However, existing approaches largely focused on stacking the LSTM and graph neural networks such as graph convolutional networks (GCNs) for building improved NER models, where the exact interaction mechanism between the two types of features is not very clear, and the performance gain does not appear to be significant. In this work, we propose a simple and robust solution to incorporate both types of features with our Synergized-LSTM (Syn-LSTM), which clearly captures how the two types of features interact. We conduct extensive experiments on several standard datasets across four languages. The results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves better performance than previous approaches while requiring fewer parameters. Our further analysis demonstrates that our model can capture longer dependencies compared with strong baselines.

Named entity recognition (NER) models are typically based on the architecture of Bi-directional LSTM (BiLSTM). The constraints of sequential nature and the modeling of single input prevent the full utilization of global information from larger scope,
not only in the entire sentence, but also in the entire document (dataset). In this paper, we address these two deficiencies and propose a model augmented with hierarchical contextualized representation: sentence-level representation and document-level representation. In sentence-level, we take different contributions of words in a single sentence into consideration to enhance the sentence representation learned from an independent BiLSTM via label embedding attention mechanism. In document-level, the key-value memory network is adopted to record the document-aware information for each unique word which is sensitive to similarity of context information. Our two-level hierarchical contextualized representations are fused with each input token embedding and corresponding hidden state of BiLSTM, respectively. The experimental results on three benchmark NER datasets (CoNLL-2003 and Ontonotes 5.0 English datasets, CoNLL-2002 Spanish dataset) show that we establish new state-of-the-art results.
Identifying the named entities mentioned in text would enrich many semantic applications at the downstream level. However, due to the predominant usage of colloquial language in microblogs, the named entity recognition (NER) in Chinese microblogs exp
erience significant performance deterioration, compared with performing NER in formal Chinese corpus. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective neural framework to derive the character-level embeddings for NER in Chinese text, named ME-CNER. A character embedding is derived with rich semantic information harnessed at multiple granularities, ranging from radical, character to word levels. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves a large performance improvement on Weibo dataset and comparable performance on MSRA news dataset with lower computational cost against the existing state-of-the-art alternatives.
Pre-trained language models lead Named Entity Recognition (NER) into a new era, while some more knowledge is needed to improve their performance in specific problems. In Chinese NER, character substitution is a complicated linguistic phenomenon. Some
Chinese characters are quite similar for sharing the same components or having similar pronunciations. People replace characters in a named entity with similar characters to generate a new collocation but referring to the same object. It becomes even more common in the Internet age and is often used to avoid Internet censorship or just for fun. Such character substitution is not friendly to those pre-trained language models because the new collocations are occasional. As a result, it always leads to unrecognizable or recognition errors in the NER task. In this paper, we propose a new method, Multi-Feature Fusion Embedding for Chinese Named Entity Recognition (MFE-NER), to strengthen the language pattern of Chinese and handle the character substitution problem in Chinese Named Entity Recognition. MFE fuses semantic, glyph, and phonetic features together. In the glyph domain, we disassemble Chinese characters into components to denote structure features so that characters with similar structures can have close embedding space representation. Meanwhile, an improved phonetic system is also proposed in our work, making it reasonable to calculate phonetic similarity among Chinese characters. Experiments demonstrate that our method improves the overall performance of Chinese NER and especially performs well in informal language environments.
Existing models for cross-domain named entity recognition (NER) rely on numerous unlabeled corpus or labeled NER training data in target domains. However, collecting data for low-resource target domains is not only expensive but also time-consuming.
Hence, we propose a cross-domain NER model that does not use any external resources. We first introduce a Multi-Task Learning (MTL) by adding a new objective function to detect whether tokens are named entities or not. We then introduce a framework called Mixture of Entity Experts (MoEE) to improve the robustness for zero-resource domain adaptation. Finally, experimental results show that our model outperforms strong unsupervised cross-domain sequence labeling models, and the performance of our model is close to that of the state-of-the-art model which leverages extensive resources.
Named entity recognition (NER) for identifying proper nouns in unstructured text is one of the most important and fundamental tasks in natural language processing. However, despite the widespread use of NER models, they still require a large-scale la
beled data set, which incurs a heavy burden due to manual annotation. Domain adaptation is one of the most promising solutions to this problem, where rich labeled data from the relevant source domain are utilized to strengthen the generalizability of a model based on the target domain. However, the mainstream cross-domain NER models are still affected by the following two challenges (1) Extracting domain-invariant information such as syntactic information for cross-domain transfer. (2) Integrating domain-specific information such as semantic information into the model to improve the performance of NER. In this study, we present a semi-supervised framework for transferable NER, which disentangles the domain-invariant latent variables and domain-specific latent variables. In the proposed framework, the domain-specific information is integrated with the domain-specific latent variables by using a domain predictor. The domain-specific and domain-invariant latent variables are disentangled using three mutual information regularization terms, i.e., maximizing the mutual information between the domain-specific latent variables and the original embedding, maximizing the mutual information between the domain-invariant latent variables and the original embedding, and minimizing the mutual information between the domain-specific and domain-invariant latent variables. Extensive experiments demonstrated that our model can obtain state-of-the-art performance with cross-domain and cross-lingual NER benchmark data sets.
