Named entity classification of Wikipedia articles is a fundamental research area that can be used to automatically build large-scale corpora of named entity recognition or to support other entity processing, such as entity linking, as auxiliary tasks. This paper describes a method of classifying named entities in Chinese Wikipedia with fine-grained types. We considered multi-faceted information in Chinese Wikipedia to construct four feature sets, designed different feature selection methods for each feature, and fused different features with a vector space using different strategies. Experimental results show that the explored feature sets and their combination can effectively improve the performance of named entity classification.

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is always limited by its lower recall resulting from the asymmetric data distribution where the NONE class dominates the entity classes. This paper presents an approach that exploits non-local information to improve the NER recall. Several kinds of non-local features encoding entity token occurrence, entity boundary and entity class are explored under Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) framework. Experiments on SIGHAN 2006 MSRA (CityU) corpus indicate that non-local features can effectively enhance the recall of the state-of-the-art NER systems. Incorporating the non-local features into the NER systems using local features alone, our best system achieves a 23.56% (25.26%) relative error reduction on the recall and 17.10% (11.36%) relative error reduction on the F1 score; the improved F1 score 89.38% (90.09%) is significantly superior to the best NER system with F1 of 86.51% (89.03%) participated in the closed track.

Named entity recognition (NER) is an important basic task in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Recently deep learning approaches by extracting word segmentation or character features have been proved to be effective for Chinese Named Entity Recognition (CNER). However, since this method of extracting features only focuses on extracting some of the features, it lacks textual information mining from multiple perspectives and dimensions, resulting in the model not being able to fully capture semantic features. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel Multi-view Semantic Feature Fusion Model (MSFM). The proposed model mainly consists of two core components, that is, Multi-view Semantic Feature Fusion Embedding Module (MFEM) and Multi-head Self-Attention Mechanism Module (MSAM). Specifically, the MFEM extracts character features, word boundary features, radical features, and pinyin features of Chinese characters. The acquired font shape, font sound, and font meaning features are fused to enhance the semantic information of Chinese characters with different granularities. Moreover, the MSAM is used to capture the dependencies between characters in a multi-dimensional subspace to better understand the semantic features of the context. Extensive experimental results on four benchmark datasets show that our method improves the overall performance of the CNER model.

개체명 인식(Named Entity Recognition, 이하 NER)은 인명(PS), 기관명(OG), 장소(LC), 날짜(DT), 시간(TI) 등에 해당하는 개체명에 일정한 태깅 값을 주어 그 정보를 가시화하는 작업이다. 한국어 개체명 인식은 아직 그 자질이 충분히 밝혀져 있지 않아 자연어 처리 분야의 발전을 더디게 하는 한 요소로 작용하고 있다. 한국어가 음절 기반으로 단어를 형성하고 비교적 어순이 자유롭다는 특성이 있기에, 이런 특징을 잘 포착할 수 있는 "음절 기반의 Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)"의 아키텍쳐를 제안하여 66.80%의 성능을 보였다. 이 방법을 사용하면 형태소 분석등 개체명 이전 단계에서 발생하는 오류에 의해 개체명 인식(NER)의 성능이 떨어지는 문제를 해결할 수 있고, 조사나 어미 등을 제거하기 위한 후처리를 생략할 수 있다.

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is used to identify entity nouns in the corpus such as Location, Person and Organization, etc. NER is also an important basic of research in various natural language fields. The processing of Chinese NER has some unique difficulties, for example, there is no obvious segmentation boundary between each Chinese character in a Chinese sentence. The Chinese NER task is often combined with Chinese word segmentation, and so on. In response to these problems, we summarize the recognition methods of Chinese NER. In this review, we first introduce the sequence labeling system and evaluation metrics of NER. Then, we divide Chinese NER methods into rule-based methods, statistics-based machine learning methods and deep learning-based methods. Subsequently, we analyze in detail the model framework based on deep learning and the typical Chinese NER methods. Finally, we put forward the current challenges and future research directions of Chinese NER technology.

Named entity recognition is to classify elements in text into predefined categories and used for various departments which receives natural language inputs. In this paper, we propose a method which can generate named entity training corpus automatically using knowledge bases. We apply two different methods to generate corpus depending on the knowledge bases. One of the methods attaches named entity labels to text data using Wikipedia. The other method crawls data from web and labels named entities to web text data using Freebase. We conduct two experiments to evaluate corpus quality and our proposed method for generating Named entity recognition corpus automatically. We extract sentences randomly from two corpus which called Wikipedia corpus and Web corpus then label them to validate both automatic labeled corpus. We also show the performance of named entity recognizer trained by corpus generated in our proposed method. The result shows that our proposed method adapts well with new corpus which reflects diverse sentence structures and the newest entities.

Protein named entity identification is one of the most essential and fundamental predecessor for extracting information about protein-protein interactions from biomedical literature. In this paper, we explore the use of abstracts of biomedical literature in MEDLINE for protein name identification and present the results of the conducted experiments. We present a robust and effective approach to classify biomedical named entities into protein and non-protein classes, based on a rich set of features: orthographic, keyword, morphological and newly introduced Protein-Score features. Our procedure shows significant performance in the experiments on GENIA corpus using Random Forest, achieving the highest values of precision 92.7%, recall 91.7%, and F-measure 92.2% for protein identification, while reducing the training and testing time significantly.

In this paper, we propose a new structured entity recognition DeNERT model. Recently, the field of natural language processing has been actively researched using pre-trained language representation models with a large amount of corpus. In particular, the named entity recognition, which is one of the fields of natural language processing, uses a supervised learning method, which requires a large amount of training dataset and computation. Reinforcement learning is a method that learns through trial and error experience without initial data and is closer to the process of human learning than other machine learning methodologies and is not much applied to the field of natural language processing yet. It is often used in simulation environments such as Atari games and AlphaGo. BERT is a general-purpose language model developed by Google that is pre-trained on large corpus and computational quantities. Recently, it is a language model that shows high performance in the field of natural language processing research and shows high accuracy in many downstream tasks of natural language processing. In this paper, we propose a new named entity recognition DeNERT model using two deep learning models, DQN and BERT. The proposed model is trained by creating a learning environment of reinforcement learning model based on language expression which is the advantage of the general language model. The DeNERT model trained in this way is a faster inference time and higher performance model with a small amount of training dataset. Also, we validate the performance of our model's named entity recognition performance through experiments.

Multi-Task Learning(MTL) is a training method that trains a single neural network with multiple tasks influences each other. In this paper, we compare performance of MTL Named entity recognition(NER) model trained with Korean traditional culture corpus and other NER model. In training process, each Bi-LSTM layer of Part of speech tagging(POS-tagging) and NER are propagated from a Bi-LSTM layer to obtain the joint loss. As a result, the MTL based Bi-LSTM model shows 1.1%~4.6% performance improvement compared to single Bi-LSTM models.
