Few-shot NER
26 papers with code • 3 benchmarks • 3 datasets
Few-Shot Named Entity Recognition (NER) is the task of recognising a 'named entity' like a person, organization, time and so on in a piece of text e.g. "Alan Mathison [person] visited the Turing Institute [organization] in June [time].

Few-NERD: A Few-Shot Named Entity Recognition Dataset
In this paper, we present Few-NERD, a large-scale human-annotated few-shot NER dataset with a hierarchy of 8 coarse-grained and 66 fine-grained entity types.

Findings (ACL) 2021
To address the issue, we propose a template-based method for NER, treating NER as a language model ranking problem in a sequence-to-sequence framework, where original sentences and statement templates filled by candidate named entity span are regarded as the source sequence and the target sequence, respectively.

Few-shot Named Entity Recognition (NER) exploits only a handful of annotations to identify and classify named entity mentions.
Probing Pre-trained Auto-regressive Language Models for Named Entity Typing and Recognition

LREC 2022
The results show: auto-regressive language models as meta-learners can perform NET and NER fairly well especially for regular or seen names; name irregularity when often present for a certain entity type can become an effective exploitable cue; names with words foreign to the model have the most negative impact on results; the model seems to rely more on name than context cues in few-shot NER.

NAACL 2022
Few-Shot Sequence Labeling (FSSL) is a canonical paradigm for the tagging models, e. g., named entity recognition and slot filling, to generalize on an emerging, resource-scarce domain.
Template-free Prompt Tuning for Few-shot NER
Prompt-based methods have been successfully applied in sentence-level few-shot learning tasks, mostly owing to the sophisticated design of templates and label words.
