Enhancing NER by Harnessing Multiple Datasets with Conditional Variational Autoencoders

Abstract

AbstractWe propose a novel method to integrate a Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE) into a span-based Named Entity Recognition (NER) model to model the shared and unshared information among labels in multiple datasets and ease the training on the datasets. Experimental results using multiple biomedical datasets show the effectiveness of the proposed method, achieving improved performance on the BioRED dataset.
