Neural Networks for Named Entity Recognition

In this repo you can find several neural network architectures for named entity recognition from the paper "Application of a Hybrid Bi-LSTM-CRF model to the task of Russian Named Entity Recognition" https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.09686.pdf, which is inspired by LSTM+CRF architecture from https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.01360.pdf.

NER class from ner/network.py provides methods for construction, training and inference neural networks for Named Entity Recognition.

We provide pre-trained CNN model for Russian Named Entity Recognition. The model was trained on three datatasets:

  • Gareev corpus [1] (obtainable by request to authors)
  • FactRuEval 2016 [2]
  • NE3 (extended Persons-1000) [3, 4]

The pre-trained model can recognize such entities as:

  • Persons (PER)
  • Locations (LOC)
  • Organizations (ORG)

An example of usage of the pre-trained model is provided in example.ipynb.

Remark: at training stage the corpora were lemmatized and lowercased. So text must be tokenized and lemmatized and lowercased before feeding it into the model.

The F1 measure for presented model along with other published solution provided in the table below:

Usage

Installing

The toolkit is implemented in Python 3 and requires a number of packages. To install all needed packages use:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

or

$ pip3 install git+https://github.com/deepmipt/ner

Warning: there is no GPU version of TensorFlow specified in the requirements file

Command-Line Interface

The simplest way to use pre-trained Russian NER model is via command line interface:

$ echo "На конспирологическом саммите в США глава Федерального Бюро Расследований сделал невероятное заявление" | ./ner.py

На O
конспирологическом O
саммите O
в O
США B-LOC
глава O
Федерального B-ORG
Бюро I-ORG
Расследований I-ORG
сделал O
невероятное O
заявление O

And for interactive usage simply type:

$ ./ner.py

Usage as module

>>> import ner
>>> extractor = ner.Extractor()
>>> for m in extractor("На конспирологическом саммите в США глава Федерального Бюро Расследований сделал невероятное заявление"):
...     print(m)
Match(tokens=[Token(span=(32, 35), text='США')], span=Span(start=32, end=35), type='LOC')
Match(tokens=[Token(span=(42, 54), text='Федерального'), Token(span=(55, 59), text='Бюро'), Token(span=(60, 73), text='Расследований')], span=Span(start=42, end=73), type='ORG')

Training

To see how to train the network and what format of data is required see training_example.ipynb jupyter notebook.
