• Abstract: Named Entity Recognition (NER) is essential in various Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. Traditional NER models are effective but limited to a set of predefined entity types. In contrast, Large Language Models (LLMs) can extract arbitrary entities through natural language instructions, offering greater flexibility. However, their size and cost, particularly for those accessed via APIs like ChatGPT, make them impractical in resource-limited scenarios. In this paper, we introduce a compact NER model trained to identify any type of entity. Leveraging a bidirectional transformer encoder, our model, GLiNER, facilitates parallel entity extraction, an advantage over the slow sequential token generation of LLMs. Through comprehensive testing, GLiNER demonstrate strong performance, outperforming both ChatGPT and fine-tuned LLMs in zero-shot evaluations on various NER benchmarks.

  We present ReverseNER, a framework aimed at overcoming the limitations of large language models (LLMs) in zero-shot Named Entity Recognition tasks. Rather than beginning with sentences, this method uses an LLM to generate entities based on their definitions and then expands them into full sentences. This results in well-annotated sentences with clearly labeled entities, while preserving semantic and structural similarity to the task sentences.

  GPT-NER transforms the sequence labeling task to a generation task that can be easily adapted by Language Models. We find that GPT-NER exhibits a greater ability in the low-resource and few-shot setups, when the amount of training data is extremely scarce. This demonstrates the capabilities of GPT-NER in real-world NER applications where the number of labeled examples is limited.
