AbstractWith rapid development of the Internet, people have undergone tremendous changes in the way they obtain information. In recent years, knowledge graph is becoming a popular tool for the public to acquire knowledge. For knowledge graph of Chinese history and culture, most researchers adopted traditional named entity recognition methods to extract entity information from unstructured historical text data. However, the traditional named entity recognition method has certain defects, and it is easy to ignore the association between entities. To extract entities from a large amount of historical and cultural information more accurately and efficiently, this paper proposes one named entity recognition model combining Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory-Conditional Random Field (BERT-BiLSTM-CRF). First, a BERT pre-trained language model is used to encode a single character to obtain a vector representation corresponding to each character. Then one Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) layer is applied to semantically encode the input text. Finally, the label with the highest probability is output through the Conditional Random Field (CRF) layer to obtain each character’s category. This model uses the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) pre-trained language model to replace the static word vectors trained in the traditional way. In comparison, the BERT pre-trained language model can dynamically generate semantic vectors according to the context of words, which improves the representation ability of word vectors. The experimental results prove that the model proposed in this paper has achieved excellent results in the task of named entity recognition in the field of historical culture. Compared with the existing named entity identification methods, the precision rate, recall rate, and $$F_1$$ F 1 value have been significantly improved.

Abstract Background: In recent years, with the growing amount of biomedical documents, coupled with advancement in natural language processing algorithms, the research on biomedical named entity recognition (BioNER) has increased exponentially. However, BioNER research is challenging as NER in the biomedical domain are: (i) often restricted due to limited amount of training data, (ii) an entity can refer to multiple types and concepts depending on its context and, (iii) heavy reliance on acronyms that are sub-domain specific. Existing BioNER approaches often neglect these issues and directly adopt the state-of-the-art (SOTA) models trained in general corpora which often yields unsatisfactory results. Results: We propose biomedical ALBERT (A Lite Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers for Biomedical Text Mining) - bioALBERT - an effective domain-specific pre-trained language model trained on huge biomedical corpus designed to capture biomedical context-dependent NER. We adopted self-supervised loss function used in ALBERT that targets on modelling inter-sentence coherence to better learn context-dependent representations and incorporated parameter reduction strategies to minimise memory usage and enhance the training time in BioNER. In our experiments, BioALBERT outperformed comparative SOTA BioNER models on eight biomedical NER benchmark datasets with four different entity types. The performance is increased for; (i) disease type corpora by 7.47% (NCBI-disease) and 10.63% (BC5CDR-disease); (ii) drug-chem type corpora by 4.61% (BC5CDR-Chem) and 3.89 (BC4CHEMD); (iii) gene-protein type corpora by 12.25% (BC2GM) and 6.42% (JNLPBA); and (iv) Species type corpora by 6.19% (LINNAEUS) and 23.71% (Species-800) is observed which leads to a state-of-the-art results. Conclusions: The performance of proposed model on four different biomedical entity types shows that our model is robust and generalizable in recognizing biomedical entities in text. We trained four different variants of BioALBERT models which are available for the research community to be used in future research.

Along with studies on artificial intelligence technology, research is also being carried out actively in the field of natural language processing to understand and process people’s language, in other words, natural language. For computers to learn on their own, the skill of understanding natural language is very important. There are a wide variety of tasks involved in the field of natural language processing, but we would like to focus on the named entity registration and relation extraction task, which is considered to be the most important in understanding sentences. We propose DeNERT-KG, a model that can extract subject, object, and relationships, to grasp the meaning inherent in a sentence. Based on the BERT language model and Deep Q-Network, the named entity recognition (NER) model for extracting subject and object is established, and a knowledge graph is applied for relation extraction. Using the DeNERT-KG model, it is possible to extract the subject, type of subject, object, type of object, and relationship from a sentence, and verify this model through experiments.
