• Abstract: Spoken Named Entity Recognition (NER) aims to extracting named entities from speech and categorizing them into types like person, location, organization, etc. In this work, we present VietMed-NER - the first spoken NER dataset in the medical domain. To our best knowledge, our real-world dataset is the largest spoken NER dataset in the world in terms of the number of entity types, featuring 18 distinct types. Secondly, we present baseline results using various state-of-the-art pre-trained models: encoder-only and sequence-to-sequence. We found that pre-trained multilingual models XLM-R outperformed all monolingual models on both reference text and ASR output. Also in general, encoders perform better than sequence-to-sequence models for the NER task. By simply translating, the transcript is applicable not just to Vietnamese but to other languages as well. All code, data and models are made publicly available here: https://github.com/leduckhai/MultiMed

  Cross-lingual self-supervised visual representation learning has been a growing research topic in the last few years. We use the recently-proposed Raw Audio-Visual Speechs (RAVEn) framework to pre-train an audio-visual model with unlabelled data. Our experiments show that: (1) multi-lingual models with more data outperform monolingual ones, but, when keeping the amount of data fixed, monolingual models tend to reach better performance.

  Cross-lingual NER can transfer knowledge between languages via aligned cross-lingual representations or machine translation results. We propose a Cross-lingual Entity Projection framework (CROP) to enable zero-shot cross-lingual NER. We adopt a multilingual labeled sequence translation model to project the tagged sequence back to the target language and label the target raw sentence.

  We consider NER for low-resource Indian languages like Hindi and Marathi. We consider different variations of BERT like base-BERT, RoBERTa, and AlBERT and benchmark them on publicly available Hindi and Marathi NER datasets. We show that the monolingual MahaRoBERTa model performs the best for Marathi NER whereas the multilingual XLM-RoBERTa performs the best for Hindi NER.
