Corpus Construction

Constructing a knowledge graph of geological hazards literature can facilitate the reuse of geological hazards literature and provide a reference for geological hazard governance. Named entity recognition (NER), as a core technology for constructing a geological hazard knowledge graph, has to face the challenges that named entities in geological hazard literature are diverse in form, ambiguous in semantics, and uncertain in context. This can introduce difficulties in designing practical features during the NER classification. To address the above problem, this paper proposes a deep learning-based NER model; namely, the deep, multi-branch BiGRU-CRF model, which combines a multi-branch bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) layer and a conditional random field (CRF) model. In an end-to-end and supervised process, the proposed model automatically learns and transforms features by a multi-branch bidirectional GRU layer and enhances the output with a CRF layer. Besides the deep, multi-branch BiGRU-CRF model, we also proposed a pattern-based corpus construction method to construct the corpus needed for the deep, multi-branch BiGRU-CRF model. Experimental results indicated the proposed deep, multi-branch BiGRU-CRF model outperformed state-of-the-art models. The proposed deep, multi-branch BiGRU-CRF model constructed a large-scale geological hazard literature knowledge graph containing 34,457 entities nodes and 84,561 relations.

Clinical named entity recognition is an essential task for humans to analyze large-scale electronic medical records efficiently. Traditional rule-based solutions need considerable human effort to build rules and dictionaries; machine learning-based solutions need laborious feature engineering. For the moment, deep learning solutions like Long Short-term Memory with Conditional Random Field (LSTM–CRF) achieved considerable performance in many datasets. In this paper, we developed a multitask attention-based bidirectional LSTM–CRF (Att-biLSTM–CRF) model with pretrained Embeddings from Language Models (ELMo) in order to achieve better performance. In the multitask system, an additional task named entity discovery was designed to enhance the model’s perception of unknown entities. Experiments were conducted on the 2010 Informatics for Integrating Biology & the Bedside/Veterans Affairs (I2B2/VA) dataset. Experimental results show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art solution both on the single model and ensemble model. Our work proposes an approach to improve the recall in the clinical named entity recognition task based on the multitask mechanism.

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.

With the rapid development of coal mine intelligent technology, the complexity of coal mine equipment has been continuously improved and the equipment maintenance resources have been continuously enriched. The traditional coal mine equipment maintenance knowledge management technology can no longer meet the current needs of equipment maintenance knowledge management, and the problems of low utilization rate, poor interoperability, and serious loss of knowledge have gradually emerged. It is urgent to study new knowledge system construction and knowledge management application technology for large-scale coal mine equipment maintenance resources. Knowledge graph is a technical method to describe the relationship between things in the objective world by using a graph model. It can effectively solve the problem of knowledge dynamic mining and management under large-scale data. Therefore, this paper focuses on the establishment of a coal mine equipment maintenance knowledge graph system by using knowledge graph technology. The main research contents are as follows: Firstly, based on the current situation that there is no unified basic knowledge system in the field of coal mine equipment maintenance, this paper establishes the coal mine equipment maintenance ontology (CMEMO) to effectively solve the problem that there are no unified representation, integration, and sharing of coal mine equipment maintenance knowledge in this field and provide support for the construction of coal mine equipment maintenance knowledge graph. Then, aiming at the problem that the traditional named-entity recognition method has a poor recognition effect and relies too much on artificial feature design, this paper proposes a named-entity recognition model for coal mine equipment maintenance based on neural network (BERT-BiLSTM-CRF) and applies the model to the coal mine equipment maintenance data set for verification. The experimental results show that, under the same data set, the entity recognition effect of this model is more leading than that of other models. Finally, through demand analysis and architecture design, combined with the constructed ontology model of coal mine equipment maintenance field, the entity identification of coal mine equipment maintenance is completed based on the BERT-BiLSTM-CRF model and the Django application framework is used to build the coal mine equipment maintenance knowledge graph system to realize the functions of each module of the knowledge graph system.

Knowledge Graph has gradually become one of core drivers advancing the Internet and AI in recent years, while there is currently no normal knowledge graph in the field of agriculture. Named Entity Recognition (NER), one important step in constructing knowledge graphs, has become a hot topic in both academia and industry. With the help of the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network (Bi-LSTM) and Conditional Random Field (CRF) model, we introduce a method of ensemble learning, and implement a named entity recognition model ELER. Our model achieves good results for the CoNLL2003 data set, the accuracy and F1 value in the best experimental results are respectively improved by 1.37% and 0.7% when compared with the BiLSTM-CRF model. In addition, our model achieves an F1 score of 91% for the agricultural data set AgriNER2018, which proves the validity of ELER model for small agriculture sample data sets and lays a foundation for the construction of agricultural knowledge graphs.

Motivation: Automatic biomedical named entity recognition (BioNER) is a key task in biomedical information extraction (IE). For some time, state-of-the-art BioNER has been dominated by machine learning methods, particularly conditional random fields (CRFs), with a recent focus on deep learning. However, recent work has suggested that the high performance of CRFs for BioNER may not generalize to corpora other than the one it was trained on. In our analysis, we find that a popular deep learning-based approach to BioNER, known as bidirectional long short-term memory network-conditional random field (BiLSTM-CRF), is correspondingly poor at generalizing - often dramatically overfitting the corpus it was trained on. To address this, we evaluate three modifications of BiLSTM-CRF for BioNER to alleviate overfitting and improve generalization: improved regularization via variational dropout, transfer learning, and multi-task learning. Results: We measure the effect that each strategy has when training/testing on the same corpus ("in-corpus" performance) and when training on one corpus and evaluating on another ("out-of-corpus" performance), our measure of the models ability to generalize. We found that variational dropout improves out-of-corpus performance by an average of 4.62%, transfer learning by 6.48% and multi-task learning by 8.42%. The maximal increase we identified combines multi-task learning and variational dropout, which boosts out-of-corpus performance by 10.75%. Furthermore, we make available a new open-source tool, called Saber, that implements our best BioNER models.

With the advent of Web 2.0, there exist many online platforms that result in massive textual-data production. With ever-increasing textual data at hand, it is of immense importance to extract information nuggets from this data. One approach towards effective harnessing of this unstructured textual data could be its transformation into structured text. Hence, this study aims to present an overview of approaches that can be applied to extract key insights from textual data in a structured way. For this, Named Entity Recognition and Relation Extraction are being majorly addressed in this review study. The former deals with identification of named entities, and the latter deals with problem of extracting relation between set of entities. This study covers early approaches as well as the developments made up till now using machine learning models. Survey findings conclude that deep-learning-based hybrid and joint models are currently governing the state-of-the-art. It is also observed that annotated benchmark datasets for various textual-data generators such as Twitter and other social forums are not available. This scarcity of dataset has resulted into relatively less progress in these domains. Additionally, the majority of the state-of-the-art techniques are offline and computationally expensive. Last, with increasing focus on deep-learning frameworks, there is need to understand and explain the under-going processes in deep architectures.

Relation extraction is a vital task in natural language processing. It aims to identify the relationship between two specified entities in a sentence. Besides information contained in the sentence, additional information about the entities is verified to be helpful in relation extraction. Additional information such as entity type getting by NER (Named Entity Recognition) and description provided by knowledge base both have their limitations. Nevertheless, there exists another way to provide additional information which can overcome these limitations in Chinese relation extraction. As Chinese characters usually have explicit meanings and can carry more information than English letters. We suggest that characters that constitute the entities can provide additional information which is helpful for the relation extraction task, especially in large scale datasets. This assumption has never been verified before. The main obstacle is the lack of large-scale Chinese relation datasets. In this paper, first, we generate a large scale Chinese relation extraction dataset based on a Chinese encyclopedia. Second, we propose an attention-based model using the characters that compose the entities. The result on the generated dataset shows that these characters can provide useful information for the Chinese relation extraction task. By using this information, the attention mechanism we used can recognize the crucial part of the sentence that can express the relation. The proposed model outperforms other baseline models on our Chinese relation extraction dataset.

Domain Information

In Indonesia, philanthropy is identical to Zakat. Zakat belongs to a specific domain because it has its characteristics of knowledge. This research studied knowledge graph in the Zakat domain called KGZ which is conducted in Indonesia. This area is still rarely performed, thus it becomes the first knowledge graph for Zakat in Indonesia. It is designed to provide basic knowledge on Zakat and managing the Zakat in Indonesia. There are some issues with building KGZ, firstly, the existing Indonesian named entity recognition (NER) is non-restricted and general-purpose based which data is obtained from a general source like news. Second, there is no dataset for NER in the Zakat domain. We define four steps to build KGZ, involving data acquisition, extracting entities and their relationship, mapping to ontology, and deploying knowledge graphs and visualizations. This research contributed a knowledge graph for Zakat (KGZ) and a building NER model for Zakat, called KGZ-NER. We defined 17 new named entity classes related to Zakat with 272 entities, 169 relationships and provided labelled datasets for KGZ-NER that are publicly accessible. We applied the Indonesian-Open Domain Information Extractor framework to process identifying entities’ relationships. Then designed modeling of information using resources description framework (RDF) to build the knowledge base for KGZ and store it to GraphDB, a product from Ontotext. This NER model has a precision 0.7641, recall 0.4544, and F1-score 0.5655. The increasing data size of KGZ is required to discover all of the knowledge of Zakat and managing Zakat in Indonesia. Moreover, sufficient resources are required in future works.
