Improving Twitter Named Entity Recognition using Word Representations

چکیده
This paper describes our system used in the ACL 2015 Workshop on Noisy Usergenerated Text Shared Task for Named Entity Recognition (NER) in Twitter. Our system uses Conditional Random Fields to train two separate classifiers for the two evaluations: predicting 10 fine-grained types, and segmenting named entities. We focus our efforts on generating word representations from large amount of unlabeled newswire data and tweets. Our experiment results show that cluster features derived from word representations significantly improve Twitter NER performances. Our system is ranked 2nd for both evaluations.

Named Entity Recognition in Persian Text using Deep Learning
Named entities recognition is a fundamental task in the field of natural language processing. It is also known as a subset of information extraction. The process of recognizing named entities aims at finding proper nouns in the text and classifying them into predetermined classes such as names of people, organizations, and places. In this paper, we propose a named entity recognizer which benefi...
متن کاملThe Unreasonable Effectiveness of Word Representations for Twitter Named Entity Recognition
Named entity recognition (NER) systems trained on newswire perform very badly when tested on Twitter. Signals that were reliable in copy-edited text disappear almost entirely in Twitter’s informal chatter, requiring the construction of specialized models. Using wellunderstood techniques, we set out to improve Twitter NER performance when given a small set of annotated training tweets. To levera...

This paper presents a case study of using distributed word representations, word2vec in particular, for improving performance of Named Entity Recognition for the eCommerce domain. We also demonstrate that distributed word representations trained on a smaller amount of in-domain data are more effective than word vectors trained on very large amount of out-of-domain data, and that their combinati...
متن کاملMultimedia Lab $@$ ACL WNUT NER Shared Task: Named Entity Recognition for Twitter Microposts using Distributed Word Representations
Due to the short and noisy nature of Twitter microposts, detecting named entities is often a cumbersome task. As part of the ACL2015 Named Entity Recognition (NER) shared task, we present a semisupervised system that detects 10 types of named entities. To that end, we leverage 400 million Twitter microposts to generate powerful word embeddings as input features and use a neural network to execu...
متن کاملNRC: Infused Phrase Vectors for Named Entity Recognition in Twitter
Our submission to the W-NUT Named Entity Recognition in Twitter task closely follows the approach detailed by Cherry and Guo (2015), who use a discriminative, semi-Markov tagger, augmented with multiple word representations. We enhance this approach with updated gazetteers, and with infused phrase embeddings that have been adapted to better predict the gazetteer membership of each phrase. Our s...
