Dialogue Act Recognition via CRF-Attentive Structured Network
Dialogue Act Recognition (DAR) is a challenging problem in dialogue
interpretation, which aims to attach semantic labels to utterances and
characterize the speaker's intention. Currently, many existing approaches
formulate the DAR problem ranging from multi-classification to structured
prediction, which suffer from handcrafted feature extensions and attentive
contextual structural dependencies. In this paper, we consider the problem of
DAR from the viewpoint of extending richer Conditional Random Field (CRF)
structural dependencies without abandoning end-to-end training. We incorporate
hierarchical semantic inference with memory mechanism on the utterance
modeling. We then extend structured attention network to the linear-chain
conditional random field layer which takes into account both contextual
utterances and corresponding dialogue acts. The extensive experiments on two
major benchmark datasets Switchboard Dialogue Act (SWDA) and Meeting Recorder
Dialogue Act (MRDA) datasets show that our method achieves better performance
than other state-of-the-art solutions to the problem. It is a remarkable fact
that our method is nearly close to the human annotator's performance on SWDA
within 2% gap.Comment: 10 pages, 4figure
Exploiting Multiple Embeddings for Chinese Named Entity Recognition
Identifying the named entities mentioned in text would enrich many semantic
applications at the downstream level. However, due to the predominant usage of
colloquial language in microblogs, the named entity recognition (NER) in
Chinese microblogs experience significant performance deterioration, compared
with performing NER in formal Chinese corpus. In this paper, we propose a
simple yet effective neural framework to derive the character-level embeddings
for NER in Chinese text, named ME-CNER. A character embedding is derived with
rich semantic information harnessed at multiple granularities, ranging from
radical, character to word levels. The experimental results demonstrate that
the proposed approach achieves a large performance improvement on Weibo dataset
and comparable performance on MSRA news dataset with lower computational cost
against the existing state-of-the-art alternatives.Comment: accepted at CIKM 201
Research on Event Extraction Model Based on Semantic Features of Chinese Words
Event Extraction (EE) is an important task in Natural Language Understanding (NLU). As the complexity of Chinese structure, Chinese EE is more difficult than English EE. According to the characteristics of Chinese, this paper designed a Semantic-GRU (Sem-GRU) model, which integrates Chinese word context semantics, Chinese word glyph semantics and Chinese word structure semantics. And this paper uses the model for Chinese Event Trigger Extraction (ETE) task. The experiment is compared in two tasks: ETE and Named Entity Recognition (NER). In ETE, the paper uses ACE 2005 Chinese event dataset to compare the existing research, the effect reaches 75.8 %. In NER, the paper uses MSRA dataset, which reaches 90.3 %, better than other models
Named Entity Recognition Using BERT BiLSTM CRF for Chinese Electronic Health Records
As the generation and accumulation of massive electronic health records (EHR), how to effectively extract the valuable medical information from EHR has been a popular research topic. During the medical information extraction, named entity recognition (NER) is an essential natural language processing (NLP) task. This paper presents our efforts using neural network approaches for this task. Based on the Chinese EHR offered by CCKS 2019 and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (SAHSU), several neural models for NER, including BiLSTM, have been compared, along with two pre-trained language models, word2vec and BERT. We have found that the BERT-BiLSTM-CRF model can achieve approximately 75% F1 score, which outperformed all other models during the tests
