KDDIE at SemEval-2023 Task 2: External Knowledge Injection for Named Entity Recognition

Proceedings of the 17th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation (SemEval-2023)

This paper introduces our system for the SemEval 2023 Task 2: Multilingual Complex Named Entity Recognition (MultiCoNER II) competition. Our team focused on the sub-task of Named Entity Recognition (NER) for the language of English in the challenge and reported our results. To achieve our goal, we utilized transfer learning by fine-tuning pre-trained language models (PLMs) on the competition dataset. Our approach involved combining a BERT-based PLM with external knowledge to provide additional context to the model. In this report, we present our findings and results.

KDDIE at SemEval-2022 Task 11: Using DeBERTa for Named Entity Recognition
Caleb Martin | Huichen Yang | William Hsu
Proceedings of the 16th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation (SemEval-2022)

In this work, we introduce our system to the SemEval 2022 Task 11: Multilingual Complex Named Entity Recognition (MultiCoNER) competition. Our team (KDDIE) attempted the sub-task of Named Entity Recognition (NER) for the language of English in the challenge and reported our results. For this task, we use transfer learning method: fine-tuning the pre-trained language models (PLMs) on the competition dataset. Our two approaches are the BERT-based PLMs and PLMs with additional layer such as Condition Random Field. We report our finding and results in this report.
