Fusing Heterogeneous Factors with Triaffine Mechanism for Nested Named Entity Recognition [ACL2022 Findings] Paper link

Environment

All codes are tested under Python 3.7, PyTorch 1.7.0 and Transformers 4.6.1. Need to install opt_einsum for einsum calculations. At least 16GB GPU are needed for training.

Dataset

We only put several samples for each dataset. You can download full GENIA dataset here. There are no direct download links for other datasets. One need to obtain licences from LDC for getting ACE2004, ACE2005 and KBP2017. You can email me with LDC licences to obtain processed datasets (yuanzheng.yuanzhen@alibaba-inc.com). Please put datas under data/dataset_name, you can also refer word_embed.generate_vocab_embed for data paths.

Extract word embedding

Please download cc.en.300.bin and BioWordVec_PubMed_MIMICIII_d200.bin and run python word_embed.py to generate required json files. You need to change the path of word embedding.

Reproduce

To notice, you may need to change the path of bert_name_or_path by yourself.
