TLDR
A unified neural network architecture and learning algorithm that can be applied to various natural language processing tasks including part-of-speech tagging, chunking, named entity recognition, and semantic role labeling is proposed.Abstract:
We propose a unified neural network architecture and learning algorithm that can be applied to various natural language processing tasks including part-of-speech tagging, chunking, named entity recognition, and semantic role labeling. This versatility is achieved by trying to avoid task-specific engineering and therefore disregarding a lot of prior knowledge. Instead of exploiting man-made input features carefully optimized for each task, our system learns internal representations on the basis of vast amounts of mostly unlabeled training data. This work is then used as a basis for building a freely available tagging system with good performance and minimal computational requirements.read more

Embedding Methods for Fine Grained Entity Type Classification
TL;DR: A new approach based on label embeddings that allows for information sharing among related labels that outperforms state-of-the-art methods on two fine grained entity-classification benchmarks and can exploit the finer-grained labels to improve classification of standard coarse types.

POLYGLOT-NER: Massive Multilingual Named Entity Recognition
TL;DR: This article proposed a system that builds massive multilingual annotators with minimal human expertise and intervention using Wikipedia and Freebase data sets, which does not require NER human annotated datasets or language specific resources like treebanks, parallel corpora, and orthographic rules.

Distantly Supervised NER with Partial Annotation Learning and Reinforcement Learning
TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel approach which can partially solve the above problems of distant supervision for NER, and applies partial annotation learning to reduce the effect of unknown labels of characters in incomplete and noisy annotations.

A tutorial on hidden Markov models and selected applications in speech recognition
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the basic theory of hidden Markov models (HMMs) as originated by L.E. Baum and T. Petrie (1966) and give practical details on methods of implementation of the theory along with a description of selected applications of HMMs to distinct problems in speech recognition.
