• Title: P-ICL: Point In-Context Learning for Named Entity Recognition with Large Language Models
• Authors: Guochao Jiang, Zepeng Ding, Yuchen Shi, Deqing Yang,
• Abstract summary: In recent years, the rise of large language models (LLMs) has made it possible to directly achieve named entity recognition (NER) without any demonstration samples. Standard ICL only helps LLMs understand task instructions, format and input-label mapping, but neglects the particularity of the NER task itself. We propose a new prompting framework P-ICL to better achieve NER with LLMs, in which some point entities are leveraged as the auxiliary information to recognize each entity type.

• Abstract: In recent years, the rise of large language models (LLMs) has made it possible to directly achieve named entity recognition (NER) without any demonstration samples or only using a few samples through in-context learning (ICL). However, standard ICL only helps LLMs understand task instructions, format and input-label mapping, but neglects the particularity of the NER task itself. In this paper, we propose a new prompting framework P-ICL to better achieve NER with LLMs, in which some point entities are leveraged as the auxiliary information to recognize each entity type. With such significant information, the LLM can achieve entity classification more precisely. To obtain optimal point entities for prompting LLMs, we also proposed a point entity selection method based on K-Means clustering. Our extensive experiments on some representative NER benchmarks verify the effectiveness of our proposed strategies in P-ICL and point entity selection.

  Group Point-of-Interest (POI) recommendations aim to predict the next POI that satisfies the diverse preferences of a group of users. Existing methods for group POI recommendations rely on single ID-based features from check-in data. We propose a framework that unleashes power of the Large Language Model (LLM) for context-aware group POI recommendations.

  In-context learning (ICL) is a few-shot learning paradigm that involves learning mappings through input-output pairs. Existing works are highly dependent on large-scale labeled support sets, not always feasible in practical scenarios. We introduce the Language Model-based Determinant Point Process (LM-DPP) that simultaneously considers the uncertainty and diversity of unlabeled instances for optimal selection.
