Abstract

The entity omission is a typical problem of distantly supervised named entity recognition today. Entity omission in the training set provide incorrect supervision information during model training, model will be more inclined to predict this type of entity as a non-entity when subsequently predicting entity types, resulting in a decline in the model's entity recognition and classification capabilities , and affects the generalization performance of the model. To deal with the problem, this paper proposes a incorporating similarity negative sampling for distantly supervised named entity recognition. First, the similarity between the candidate samples and the labeled entity samples is calculated and scored; secondly, the candidate samples are sampled based on the similarity score, and the samples participating in the training are sampled. Compared with the random negative sampling method, this method reduces the possibility of sampling missing entities by combining similarity calculations, thereby improving the quality of training data and thus improving the performance of the model. Experimental results show that compared with other models on the three data sets of CoNLL03, Wiki, and Twitter, Compared with the baseline , our model achieved an average F1 value improvement of about 5 percentage points. It is proved that this method can effectively alleviate the problem of performance degradation of the named entity recognition model caused by missing entities under distantly supervised conditions.
