Our recent work on distantly supervised NER is accepted by KDD2020. We are closing the GAP between full supervision and no supervision! See our code here: https://github.com/cliang1453/BOND

The reuslts (F1 score) are summerized as follows:

Method CoNLL03 Tweet OntoNote5.0 Webpage Wikigold
Full Supervision 91.21 52.19 86.20 72.39 86.43
Previous SOTA 76.00 26.10 67.69 51.39 47.54
BOND 81.48 48.01 68.35 65.74 60.07
  • Full Supervision: Roberta Finetuning/BiLSTM CRF
  • Previous SOTA: BiLSTM-CRF/AutoNER/LR-CRF/KALM/CONNET
