Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Named entity recognition (NER) is crucial in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, the nested entities which are common in practical corpus are often ignored in most of current NER models. To extract the nested entities, two categories of models (i.e., feature-based and neural network-based approaches) are proposed. However, the feature-based models suffer from the complicated feature engineering and often heavily rely on the external resources. Discarding the heavy feature engineering, recent neural network-based methods which treat the nested NER as a classification task are designed but still suffer from the heavy class imbalance issue and the high computational cost. To solve these problems, we propose a neural multi-task model with two modules: Binary Sequence Labeling and Candidate Region Classification to extract the nested entities. Extensive experiments are conducted on the public datasets. Comparing with recent neural network-based approaches, our proposed model achieves the better performance and obtains the higher efficiency. (C) 2021 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
