Chinese Named Entity Recognition Method for Domain-Specific Text
The Chinese named entity recognition (NER) is a critical task in natural language processing, aiming at identifying and classifying named entities in text. However, the specificity of domain texts and the lack of large-scale labelled datasets have led to the poor performance of NER methods trained on public domain corpora on domain texts. In this paper, a named entity recognition method incorporating sentence semantic information is proposed, mainly by adaptively incorporating sentence semantic information into character semantic information through an attention mechanism and a gating mechanism to enhance entity feature representation while attenuating the noise generated by irrelevant character information. In addition, to address the lack of large-scale labelled samples, we used data self-augmentation methods to expand the training samples. Furthermore, we introduced a Weighted Strategy considering that the low-quality samples generated by the data self-augmentation process can have a negative impact on the model. Experiments on the TCM prescriptions corpus showed that the F1 values of our method outperformed the comparison methods
HistRED: A Historical Document-Level Relation Extraction Dataset
Despite the extensive applications of relation extraction (RE) tasks in
various domains, little has been explored in the historical context, which
contains promising data across hundreds and thousands of years. To promote the
historical RE research, we present HistRED constructed from Yeonhaengnok.
Yeonhaengnok is a collection of records originally written in Hanja, the
classical Chinese writing, which has later been translated into Korean. HistRED
provides bilingual annotations such that RE can be performed on Korean and
Hanja texts. In addition, HistRED supports various self-contained subtexts with
different lengths, from a sentence level to a document level, supporting
diverse context settings for researchers to evaluate the robustness of their RE
models. To demonstrate the usefulness of our dataset, we propose a bilingual RE
model that leverages both Korean and Hanja contexts to predict relations
between entities. Our model outperforms monolingual baselines on HistRED,
showing that employing multiple language contexts supplements the RE
predictions. The dataset is publicly available at:

Learning to Correct Noisy Labels for Fine-Grained Entity Typing via Co-Prediction Prompt Tuning
Fine-grained entity typing (FET) is an essential task in natural language
processing that aims to assign semantic types to entities in text. However, FET
poses a major challenge known as the noise labeling problem, whereby current
methods rely on estimating noise distribution to identify noisy labels but are
confused by diverse noise distribution deviation. To address this limitation,
we introduce Co-Prediction Prompt Tuning for noise correction in FET, which
leverages multiple prediction results to identify and correct noisy labels.
Specifically, we integrate prediction results to recall labeled labels and
utilize a differentiated margin to identify inaccurate labels. Moreover, we
design an optimization objective concerning divergent co-predictions during
fine-tuning, ensuring that the model captures sufficient information and
maintains robustness in noise identification. Experimental results on three
widely-used FET datasets demonstrate that our noise correction approach
significantly enhances the quality of various types of training samples,
including those annotated using distant supervision, ChatGPT, and
crowdsourcing.Comment: Accepted by Findings of EMNLP 2023, 11 page
A Named Entity Recognition Method Enhanced with Lexicon Information and Text Local Feature
At present, Named Entity Recognition (NER) is one of the fundamental tasks for extracting knowledge from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) texts. The variability of the length of TCM entities and the characteristics of the language of TCM texts lead to ambiguity of TCM entity boundaries. In addition, better extracting and exploiting local features of text can improve the accuracy of named entity recognition. In this paper, we proposed a TCM NER model with lexicon information and text local feature enhancement of text. In this model, a lexicon is introduced to encode the characters in the text to obtain the context-sensitive global semantic representation of the text. The convolutional neural network (CNN) and gate joined collaborative attention network are used to form a text local feature extraction module to capture the important semantic features of local text. Experiments were conducted on two TCM domain datasets and the F1 values are 91.13% and 90.21% respectively
ChatAgri: Exploring Potentials of ChatGPT on Cross-linguistic Agricultural Text Classification
In the era of sustainable smart agriculture, a massive amount of agricultural
news text is being posted on the Internet, in which massive agricultural
knowledge has been accumulated. In this context, it is urgent to explore
effective text classification techniques for users to access the required
agricultural knowledge with high efficiency. Mainstream deep learning
approaches employing fine-tuning strategies on pre-trained language models
(PLMs), have demonstrated remarkable performance gains over the past few years.
Nonetheless, these methods still face many drawbacks that are complex to solve,
including: 1. Limited agricultural training data due to the expensive-cost and
labour-intensive annotation; 2. Poor domain transferability, especially of
cross-linguistic ability; 3. Complex and expensive large models
deployment.Inspired by the extraordinary success brought by the recent ChatGPT
(e.g. GPT-3.5, GPT-4), in this work, we systematically investigate and explore
the capability and utilization of ChatGPT applying to the agricultural
informatization field. ....(shown in article).... Code has been released on

PPI-IRO: A two-stage method for protein-protein interaction extraction based on interaction relation ontology
Mining Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) from the fast-growing biomedical literature resources has been proven as an effective approach for the identifi cation of biological regulatory networks. This paper presents a novel method based on the idea of Interaction Relation Ontology (IRO), which specifi es and organises words of various proteins interaction relationships. Our method is a two-stage PPI extraction method. At fi rst, IRO is applied in a binary classifi er to determine whether sentences contain a relation or not. Then, IRO is taken to guide PPI extraction by building sentence dependency parse tree. Comprehensive and quantitative evaluations and detailed analyses are used to demonstrate the signifi cant performance of IRO on relation sentences classifi cation and PPI extraction. Our PPI extraction method yielded a recall of around 80% and 90% and an F1 of around 54% and 66% on corpora of AIMed and Bioinfer, respectively, which are superior to most existing extraction methods.

Artificial Intelligence Chatbots: A Survey of Classical versus Deep Machine Learning Techniques
Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables machines to be intelligent, most importantly using Machine Learning (ML) in which machines are trained to be able to make better decisions and predictions. In particular, ML-based chatbot systems have been developed to simulate chats with people using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. The adoption of chatbots has increased rapidly in many sectors, including, Education, Health Care, Cultural Heritage, Supporting Systems and Marketing, and Entertainment. Chatbots have the potential to improve human interaction with machines, and NLP helps them understand human language more clearly and thus create proper and intelligent responses. In addition to classical ML techniques, Deep Learning (DL) has attracted many researchers to develop chatbots using more sophisticated and accurate techniques. However, research has paid chatbots have widely been developed for English, there is relatively less research on Arabic, which is mainly due to its complexity and lack of proper corpora compared to English. Though there have been several survey studies that reviewed the state-of-the-art of chatbot systems, these studies (a) did not give a comprehensive overview of how different the techniques used for Arabic chatbots in comparison with English chatbots; and (b) paid little attention to the application of ANN for developing chatbots. Therefore, in this paper, we conduct a literature survey of chatbot studies to highlight differences between (1) classical and deep ML techniques for chatbots; and (2) techniques employed for Arabic chatbots versus those for other languages. To this end, we propose various comparison criteria of the techniques, extract data from collected studies accordingly, and provide insights on the progress of chatbot development for Arabic and what still needs to be done in the future
