RoSeq: Robust Sequence Labeling
DOI:10.1109/TNNLS.2019.2911236.png)
Abstract
En 中文
In this paper, we mainly investigate two issues for sequence labeling, namely, label imbalance and noisy data that are commonly seen in the scenario of named entity recognition (NER) and are largely ignored in the existing works. To address these two issues, a new method termed robust sequence labeling (RoSeq) is proposed. Specifically, to handle the label imbalance issue, we first incorporate label statistics in a novel conditional random field (CRF) loss. In addition, we design an additional loss to reduce the weights of overwhelming easy tokens for augmenting the CRF loss. To address the noisy training data, we adopt an adversarial training strategy to improve model generalization. In experiments, the proposed RoSeq achieves the state-of-the-art performances on CoNLL and English Twitter NER-88.07% on CoNLL-2002 Dutch, 87.33% on CoNLL-2002 Spanish, 52.94% on WNUT-2016 Twitter, and 43.03% on WNUT-2017 Twitter without using the additional data.
