• Title: Integrating Boundary Assembling into a DNN Framework for Named Entity Recognition in Chinese Social Media Text
• Authors: Zhaoheng Gong, Ping Chen, Jiang Zhou
• Abstract summary: Chinese word boundaries are also entity boundaries, so named entity recognition for Chinese text can benefit from word boundary detection. In this paper, we integrate a boundary assembling method with the state-of-the-art deep neural network model, and incorporate the updated word boundary information into a conditional random field model for named entity recognition. Our method shows a 2% absolute improvement over previous state-of-the-art results.

• Abstract: Named entity recognition is a challenging task in Natural Language Processing, especially for informal and noisy social media text. Chinese word boundaries are also entity boundaries, therefore, named entity recognition for Chinese text can benefit from word boundary detection, outputted by Chinese word segmentation. Yet Chinese word segmentation poses its own difficulty because it is influenced by several factors, e.g., segmentation criteria, employed algorithm, etc. Dealt improperly, it may generate a cascading failure to the quality of named entity recognition followed. In this paper we integrate a boundary assembling method with the state-of-the-art deep neural network model, and incorporate the updated word boundary information into a conditional random field model for named entity recognition. Our method shows a 2% absolute improvement over previous state-of-the-art results.

  We propose C-FNT, a novel E2E model that incorporates class-based LMs into FNT. In C-FNT, the LM score of named entities can be associated with the name class instead of its surface form. The experimental results show that our proposed C-FNT significantly reduces error in named entities without hurting performance in general word recognition.
