In the article, we present the CodeNLP submission to the SemEval-2023 Task 2: MultiCoNER II Multilingual Complex Named Entity Recognition. Our approach is based on data augmentation by combining various strategies of sequence generation for training. We show that the extended procedure of fine-tuning a pre-trained language model can bring improvements compared to any single strategy. On the development subsets, the improvements were 1.7 pp and 3.1 pp of F-measure, for English and multilingual datasets, respectively. On the test subsets our models achieved 63.51% and 73.22% of Macro F1, respectively.
