Abstract
From pretrained contextual embedding to document-level embedding, the selection and construction of embedding have drawn more and more attention in the NER domain in recent research. This paper aims to discuss the performance of ensemble embeddings on complex NER tasks. Enlightened by Wang’s methodology, we try to replicate the dominating power of ensemble models with reinforcement learning optimizor on plain NER tasks to complex ones. Based on the composition of semeval dataset, the performance of the applied model is tested on lower-context, QA, and search query scenarios together with its zero-shot learning ability. Results show that with abundant training data, the model can achieve similar performance on lower-context cases compared to plain NER cases, but can barely transfer the performance to other scenarios in the test phase.
