• Abstract: Named entity recognition (NER) is highly sensitive to sentential syntactic and semantic properties where entities may be extracted according to how they are used and placed in the running text. To model such properties, one could rely on existing resources to providing helpful knowledge to the NER task; some existing studies proved the effectiveness of doing so, and yet are limited in appropriately leveraging the knowledge such as distinguishing the important ones for particular context. In this paper, we improve NER by leveraging different types of syntactic information through attentive ensemble, which functionalizes by the proposed key-value memory networks, syntax attention, and the gate mechanism for encoding, weighting and aggregating such syntactic information, respectively. Experimental results on six English and Chinese benchmark datasets suggest the effectiveness of the proposed model and show that it outperforms previous studies on all experiment datasets.

  NER model has achieved promising performance on standard NER benchmarks. Recent studies show that previous approaches may over-rely on entity mention information, resulting in poor performance on out-of-vocabulary (OOV) entity recognition. We propose MINER, a novel NER learning framework, to remedy this issue from an information-theoretic perspective.

  We propose a Knowledge Aware Representation Learning (KARL) Network for Named Entity Recognition (NER) KARL is based on a Transformer that utilizes large knowledge bases represented as fact triplets, converts them to a context, and extracts essential information residing inside to generate contextualized triplet representation for feature augmentation. Experimental results show that the augmentation done using KARL can considerably boost the performance of our NER system and achieve significantly better results than existing approaches in the literature on three publicly available NER datasets, namely CoNLL 2003, CoNLL++, and OntoNotes v5.
