This paper proposes a method for bridge damage factor recognition from inspection reports using deep learning. Bridge inspection reports contains inspection results including identified damages and causal analysis results. However, collecting such information from inspection reports manually is limited due to their considerable amount. Therefore, this paper proposes a model for recognizing bridge damage factor from inspection reports applying Named Entity Recognition (NER) using deep learning. Named Entity Recognition, Word Embedding, Recurrent Neural Network, one of deep learning methods, were applied to construct the proposed model. Experimental results showed that the proposed model has abilities to 1) recognize damage and damage factor included in a training data, 2) distinguish a specific word as a damage or a damage factor, depending on its context, and 3) recognize new damage words not included in a training data.

This study is to develop a named entity recognition model specialized in criminal investigation domains using deep learning techniques. Through this study, we propose a system that can contribute to analysis of crime for prevention and investigation using data analysis techniques in the future by automatically extracting and categorizing crime-related information from text-based data such as criminal judgments and investigation documents. For this study, the criminal investigation domain text was collected and the required entity name was newly defined from the perspective of criminal analysis. In addition, the proposed model applying KoELECTRA, a pre-trained language model that has recently shown high performance in natural language processing, shows performance of micro average(referred to as micro avg) F1-score 98% and macro average(referred to as macro avg) F1-score 95% in 9 main categories of crime domain NER experiment data, and micro avg F1-score 98% and macro avg F1-score 62% in 56 sub categories. The proposed model is analyzed from the perspective of future improvement and utilization.

In this paper, we propose a named entity and event annotation tool for cultural heritage information corpus construction. Focusing on time, location, person, and event suitable for cultural heritage information management, the annotator writes the named entities and events with the proposed tool. In order to easily annotate the named entities and the events, the proposed tool automatically annotates the location information such as the line number or the word number, and shows the corresponding string, formatted as both bold and italic, in the raw text. For the purpose of reducing the costs of the manual annotation, the proposed tool utilizes the patterns to automatically recognize the named entities. Considering the very little training corpus, the proposed tool extracts simple rule patterns. To avoid error propagation, the proposed patterns are extracted from the raw text without any additional process. Experimental results show that the proposed tool reduces more than half of the manual annotation costs.

The prototype version of the full-text corpus of Genomics & Informatics has recently been archived in a GitHub repository. The full-text publications of volumes 10 through 17 are also directly downloadable from PubMed Central (PMC) as XML files. During the Biomedical Linked Annotation Hackathon 6 (BLAH6), we experimented with converting, annotating, and updating 301 PMC full-text articles of Genomics & Informatics using PubAnnotation, a system that provides a convenient way to add PMC publications based on PMCID. Thus, this review aims to provide a tutorial overview of practicing the iterative task of named entity recognition with the PubAnnotation/PubDictionaries/TextAE ecosystem. We also describe developing a conversion tool between the Genia tagger output and the JSON format of PubAnnotation during the hackathon.

Sequence tagging is an important task in Natural Language Processing (NLP), in which the Named Entity Recognition (NER) is the key issue. So far the most widely adopted model for NER in NLP is that of combining the neural network of bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) and the statistical sequence prediction method of Conditional Random Field (CRF). In this work, we improve the prediction accuracy of the BiLSTM by supporting an aligned word representation mechanism. We have performed experiments on multilingual (English, Spanish and Dutch) datasets and confirmed that our proposed model outperformed the existing state-of-the-art models.

화합물 관련 한국어 문서는 화합물 정보를 추출하여 그 용도를 발견할 수 있는 중요한 문서임에도 불구하고 자연어 처리를 위한 말뭉치의 구축이 되지 않아서 활용이 어려웠다. 이 연구에서는 최초로 한국 특허 문서에서 한국어 화합물 개체명 인식(Chemical Named Entity Recognition, CNER)을 위한 말뭉치를 구축하였다. 또한 구축된 CNER 말뭉치를 기본 모델인 Bi-LSTM과 KorBERT 사전학습 모델을 미세 조정하여 개체명 인식을 수행하였다. 한국어 CNER F1 성능은 Bi-LSTM 기반 모델이 83.71%, KoCNER 말뭉치를 활용하는 자연어 처리 기술들은 한국어 논문에 대한 화합물 개체명 인식으로 그 외연을 확대하고, 한국어로 작성된 화합물 관련 문서에서 화합물 명칭뿐만 아니라 물성, 반응 등의 개체를 추출하고 관계를 규명하는데 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

중첩 개체명 인식(Nested Named Entity Recognition)은 하나의 개체명 표현 안에 다른 개체명 표현이 들어 있는 중첩 구조의 개체명을 인식하는 작업으로, 중첩 개체명 인식을 위한 학습데이터 구축 작업은 일반 개체명 인식 학습데이터 구축보다 어렵다는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 Few-shot Learning 환경에 강건한 중첩 개체명 인식 모델을 제안한다. 이를 위해, 기존의 Biaffine 중첩 개체명 인식 모델의 출력 레이어를 라벨 의미 정보를 활용하도록 변경하여 학습데이터가 적은 환경에서 중첩 개체명 인식의 성능을 향상시키도록 하였다. 실험 결과 GENIA 중첩 개체명 인식 데이터의 5-shot, 10-shot, 20-shot 환경에서 기존의 Biaffine 모델보다 평균 10%p이상의 높은 F1-measure 성능을 보였다.

Entity Linking find the meaning of an entity mention, which indicate the entity using different expressions, in a user's query by linking the entity mention and the entity in the knowledge base. This task has four challenges, including the difficult knowledge base construction problem, multiple presentation of the entity mention, ambiguity of entity linking, and NIL entity recognition. In this paper, we first construct the entity name dictionary based on Wikipedia to build a knowledge base and solve the multiple presentation problem. We then propose various methods for NIL entity recognition and solve the ambiguity of entity linking by training the support vector machine based on several features, including the similarity of the context, semantic relevance, clue word score, named entity type similarity of the mansion, entity name matching score, and object popularity score. We sequentially use the proposed two methods based on the constructed knowledge base, to obtain the good performance in the entity linking. In the result of the experiment, our system achieved 83.66% and 90.81% F1 score, which is the performance of the NIL entity recognition to solve the ambiguity of the entity linking.

Named entity recognition tools are used to identify mentions of biomedical entities in free text and are essential components of high-quality information retrieval and extraction systems. Without good entity recognition, methods will mislabel searched text and will miss important information or identify spurious text that will frustrate users. Most tools do not capture non-contiguous entities which are separate spans of text that together refer to an entity, e.g., the entity "type 1 diabetes" in the phrase "type 1 and type 2 diabetes." This type is commonly found in biomedical texts, especially in lists, where multiple biomedical entities are named in shortened form to avoid repeating words. Most text annotation systems, that enable users to view and edit entity annotations, do not support non-contiguous entities. Therefore, experts cannot even visualize non-contiguous entities, let alone annotate them to build valuable datasets for machine learning methods. To combat this problem and as part of the BLAH6 hackathon, we extended the TextAE platform to allow visualization and annotation of non-contiguous entities. This enables users to add new subspans to existing entities by selecting additional text. We integrate this new functionality with TextAE's existing editing functionality to allow easy changes to entity annotation and editing of relation annotations involving non-contiguous entities, with importing and exporting to the PubAnnotation format. Finally, we roughly quantify the problem across the entire accessible biomedical literature to highlight that there are a substantial number of non-contiguous entities that appear in lists that would be missed by most text mining systems.
