GeoNER:Geological Named Entity Recognition with Enriched Domain Pre-Training Model and Adversarial Training

As important geological data,a geological report contains rich expert and geological knowledge,but the challenge facing current research into geological knowledge extraction and mining is how to render accurate understanding of geological reports guided by domain knowledge.While generic named entity recognition models/tools can be utilized for the processing of geoscience reports/documents,their effectiveness is hampered by a dearth of domain-specific knowledge,which in turn leads to a pronounced decline in recognition accuracy.This study summarizes six types of typical geological entities,with reference to the ontological system of geological domains and builds a high quality corpus for the task of geological named entity recognition(GNER).In addition,Geo Wo BERT-adv BGP(Geological Word-base BERTadversarial training Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory Global Pointer)is proposed to address the issues of ambiguity,diversity and nested entities for the geological entities.The model first uses the fine-tuned word granularitybased pre-training model Geo Wo BERT(Geological Word-base BERT)and combines the text features that are extracted using the Bi LSTM(Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory),followed by an adversarial training algorithm to improve the robustness of the model and enhance its resistance to interference,the decoding finally being performed using a global association pointer algorithm.The experimental results show that the proposed model for the constructed dataset achieves high performance and is capable of mining the rich geological information.

RoBGP:A Chinese Nested Biomedical Named Entity Recognition Model Based on RoBERTa and Global Pointer

Named Entity Recognition(NER)stands as a fundamental task within the field of biomedical text mining,aiming to extract specific types of entities such as genes,proteins,and diseases from complex biomedical texts and categorize them into predefined entity types.This process can provide basic support for the automatic construction of knowledge bases.In contrast to general texts,biomedical texts frequently contain numerous nested entities and local dependencies among these entities,presenting significant challenges to prevailing NER models.To address these issues,we propose a novel Chinese nested biomedical NER model based on RoBERTa and Global Pointer(RoBGP).Our model initially utilizes the RoBERTa-wwm-ext-large pretrained language model to dynamically generate word-level initial vectors.It then incorporates a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory network for capturing bidirectional semantic information,effectively addressing the issue of long-distance dependencies.Furthermore,the Global Pointer model is employed to comprehensively recognize all nested entities in the text.We conduct extensive experiments on the Chinese medical dataset CMeEE and the results demonstrate the superior performance of RoBGP over several baseline models.This research confirms the effectiveness of RoBGP in Chinese biomedical NER,providing reliable technical support for biomedical information extraction and knowledge base construction.

SciCN:A Scientific Dataset for Chinese Named Entity Recognition

Named entity recognition(NER)is a fundamental task of information extraction(IE),and it has attracted considerable research attention in recent years.The abundant annotated English NER datasets have significantly promoted the NER research in the English field.By contrast,much fewer efforts are made to the Chinese NER research,especially in the scientific domain,due to the scarcity of Chinese NER datasets.To alleviate this problem,we present aChinese scientificNER dataset–SciCN,which contains entity annotations of titles and abstracts derived from 3,500 scientific papers.We manually annotate a total of 62,059 entities,and these entities are classified into six types.Compared to English scientific NER datasets,SciCN has a larger scale and is more diverse,for it not only contains more paper abstracts but these abstracts are derived from more research fields.To investigate the properties of SciCN and provide baselines for future research,we adapt a number of previous state-of-theart Chinese NER models to evaluate SciCN.Experimental results show that SciCN is more challenging than other Chinese NER datasets.In addition,previous studies have proven the effectiveness of using lexicons to enhance Chinese NER models.Motivated by this fact,we provide a scientific domain-specific lexicon.Validation results demonstrate that our lexicon delivers better performance gains than lexicons of other domains.We hope that the SciCN dataset and the lexicon will enable us to benchmark the NER task regarding the Chinese scientific domain and make progress for future research.The dataset and lexicon are available at:https://github.com/yangjingla/SciCN.git.

A U-Shaped Network-Based Grid Tagging Model for Chinese Named Entity Recognition

Chinese named entity recognition(CNER)has received widespread attention as an important task of Chinese information extraction.Most previous research has focused on individually studying flat CNER,overlapped CNER,or discontinuous CNER.However,a unified CNER is often needed in real-world scenarios.Recent studies have shown that grid tagging-based methods based on character-pair relationship classification hold great potential for achieving unified NER.Nevertheless,how to enrich Chinese character-pair grid representations and capture deeper dependencies between character pairs to improve entity recognition performance remains an unresolved challenge.In this study,we enhance the character-pair grid representation by incorporating both local and global information.Significantly,we introduce a new approach by considering the character-pair grid representation matrix as a specialized image,converting the classification of character-pair relationships into a pixel-level semantic segmentation task.We devise a U-shaped network to extract multi-scale and deeper semantic information from the grid image,allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of associative features between character pairs.This approach leads to improved accuracy in predicting their relationships,ultimately enhancing entity recognition performance.We conducted experiments on two public CNER datasets in the biomedical domain,namely CMeEE-V2 and Diakg.The results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach,which achieves F1-score improvements of 7.29 percentage points and 1.64 percentage points compared to the current state-of-the-art(SOTA)models,respectively.

Mathematical Named Entity Recognition Based on Adversarial Training and Self-Attention

Mathematical named entity recognition(MNER)is one of the fundamental tasks in the analysis of mathematical texts.To solve the existing problems of the current neural network that has local instability,fuzzy entity boundary,and long-distance dependence between entities in Chinese mathematical entity recognition task,we propose a series of optimization processing methods and constructed an Adversarial Training and Bidirectional long shortterm memory-Selfattention Conditional random field(AT-BSAC)model.In our model,the mathematical text was vectorized by the word embedding technique,and small perturbations were added to the word vector to generate adversarial samples,while local features were extracted by Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory(BiLSTM).The self-attentive mechanism was incorporated to extract more dependent features between entities.The experimental results demonstrated that the AT-BSAC model achieved a precision(P)of 93.88%,a recall(R)of 93.84%,and an F1-score of 93.74%,respectively,which is 8.73%higher than the F1-score of the previous Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory Conditional Random Field(BiLSTM-CRF)model.The effectiveness of the proposed model in mathematical named entity recognition.

A Novel Optimization Scheme for Named Entity Recognition with Pre-trained Language Models

Named Entity Recognition(NER)is crucial for extracting structured information from text.While traditional methods rely on rules,Conditional Random Fields(CRFs),or deep learning,the advent of large-scale Pre-trained Language Models(PLMs)offers new possibilities.PLMs excel at contextual learning,potentially simplifying many natural language processing tasks.However,their application to NER remains underexplored.This paper investigates leveraging the GPT-3 PLM for NER without fine-tuning.We propose a novel scheme that utilizes carefully crafted templates and context examples selected based on semantic similarity.Our experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of this approach,suggesting a promising direction for harnessing PLMs in NER.

Arabic Named Entity Recognition:A BERT-BGRU Approach

Named Entity Recognition(NER)is one of the fundamental tasks in Natural Language Processing(NLP),which aims to locate,extract,and classify named entities into a predefined category such as person,organization and location.Most of the earlier research for identifying named entities relied on using handcrafted features and very large knowledge resources,which is time consuming and not adequate for resource-scarce languages such as Arabic.Recently,deep learning achieved state-of-the-art performance on many NLP tasks including NER without requiring hand-crafted features.In addition,transfer learning has also proven its efficiency in several NLP tasks by exploiting pretrained language models that are used to transfer knowledge learned from large-scale datasets to domain-specific tasks.Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformer(BERT)is a contextual language model that generates the semantic vectors dynamically according to the context of the words.BERT architecture relay on multi-head attention that allows it to capture global dependencies between words.In this paper,we propose a deep learning-based model by fine-tuning BERT model to recognize and classify Arabic named entities.The pre-trained BERT context embeddings were used as input features to a Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit(BGRU)and were fine-tuned using two annotated Arabic Named Entity Recognition(ANER)datasets.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model outperformed state-of-the-art ANER models achieving 92.28%and 90.68%F-measure values on the ANERCorp dataset and the merged ANERCorp and AQMAR dataset,respectively.

Adversarial Active Learning for Named Entity Recognition in Cybersecurity

Owing to the continuous barrage of cyber threats,there is a massive amount of cyber threat intelligence.However,a great deal of cyber threat intelligence come from textual sources.For analysis of cyber threat intelligence,many security analysts rely on cumbersome and time-consuming manual efforts.Cybersecurity knowledge graph plays a significant role in automatics analysis of cyber threat intelligence.As the foundation for constructing cybersecurity knowledge graph,named entity recognition(NER)is required for identifying critical threat-related elements from textual cyber threat intelligence.Recently,deep neural network-based models have attained very good results in NER.However,the performance of these models relies heavily on the amount of labeled data.Since labeled data in cybersecurity is scarce,in this paper,we propose an adversarial active learning framework to effectively select the informative samples for further annotation.In addition,leveraging the long short-term memory(LSTM)network and the bidirectional LSTM(BiLSTM)network,we propose a novel NER model by introducing a dynamic attention mechanism into the BiLSTM-LSTM encoderdecoder.With the selected informative samples annotated,the proposed NER model is retrained.As a result,the performance of the NER model is incrementally enhanced with low labeling cost.Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A CONDITIONAL RANDOM FIELDS APPROACH TO BIOMEDICAL NAMED ENTITY RECOGNITION

Named entity recognition is a fundamental task in biomedical data mining. In this letter, a named entity recognition system based on CRFs （Conditional Random Fields） for biomedical texts is presented. The system makes extensive use of a diverse set of features, including local features, full text features and external resource features. All features incorporated in this system are described in detail, and the impacts of different feature sets on the performance of the system are evaluated. In order to improve the performance of system, post-processing modules are exploited to deal with the abbreviation phenomena, cascaded named entity and boundary errors identification. Evaluation on this system proved that the feature selection has important impact on the system performance, and the post-processing explored has an important contribution on system performance to achieve better resuits.

Energy-Aware Traffic Routing with Named Data Networking

Greening Internet is an important issue now, which studies the way to reduce the increas- ing energy expenditure. Our work focuses on the network infrastructure and considers its energy awareness in traffic routing. We formulate the model by traffic engineering to achieve link rate a- daption, and also predict traffic matrices to pre- serve network stability. However, we realize that there is a tradeoff between network performance and energy efficiency, which is an obvious issue as Internet grows larger and larger. An essential cause is the huge traffic, and thus we try to fred its so- lution from a novel architecture called Named Data Networking （NDN） which tent in edge routers and can flexibly cache con- decrease the backbone traffic. We combine our methods with NDN, and finally improve both the network performance and the energy efficiency. Our work shows that it is effective, necessary and feasible to consider green- ing idea in the design of future Internet.

Named Entity Recognition for Nepali Text Using Support Vector Machines

Named Entity Recognition aims to identify and to classify rigid designators in text such as proper names, biological species, and temporal expressions into some predefined categories. There has been growing interest in this field of research since the early 1990s. Named Entity Recognition has a vital role in different fields of natural language processing such as Machine Translation, Information Extraction, Question Answering System and various other fields. In this paper, Named Entity Recognition for Nepali text, based on the Support Vector Machine (SVM) is presented which is one of machine learning approaches for the classification task. A set of features are extracted from training data set. Accuracy and efficiency of SVM classifier are analyzed in three different sizes of training data set. Recognition systems are tested with ten datasets for Nepali text. The strength of this work is the efficient feature extraction and the comprehensive recognition techniques. The Support Vector Machine based Named Entity Recognition is limited to use a certain set of features and it uses a small dictionary which affects its performance. The learning performance of recognition system is observed. It is found that system can learn well from the small set of training data and increase the rate of learning on the increment of training size.

Preventing“Bad”Content Dispersal in Named Data Networking

Named Data Networking(NDN)improves the data delivery efficiency by caching contents in routers. To prevent corrupted and faked contents be spread in the network,NDN routers should verify the digital signature of each published content. Since the verification scheme in NDN applies the asymmetric encryption algorithm to sign contents,the content verification overhead is too high to satisfy wire-speed packet forwarding. In this paper, we propose two schemes to improve the verification performance of NDN routers to prevent content poisoning. The first content verification scheme, called "user-assisted",leads to the best performance, but can be bypassed if the clients and the content producer collude. A second scheme, named ``RouterCooperation ‘', prevents the aforementioned collusion attack by making edge routers verify the contents independently without the assistance of users and the core routers no longer verify the contents. The Router-Cooperation verification scheme reduces the computing complexity of cryptographic operation by replacing the asymmetric encryption algorithm with symmetric encryption algorithm.The simulation results demonstrate that this Router-Cooperation scheme can speed up18.85 times of the original content verification scheme with merely extra 80 Bytes transmission overhead.

A Federated Named Entity Recognition Model with Explicit Relation for Power Grid

The power grid operation process is complex,and many operation process data involve national security,business secrets,and user privacy.Meanwhile,labeled datasets may exist in many different operation platforms,but they cannot be directly shared since power grid data is highly privacysensitive.How to use these multi-source heterogeneous data as much as possible to build a power grid knowledge map under the premise of protecting privacy security has become an urgent problem in developing smart grid.Therefore,this paper proposes federated learning named entity recognition method for the power grid field,aiming to solve the problem of building a named entity recognition model covering the entire power grid process training by data with different security requirements.We decompose the named entity recognition(NER)model FLAT(Chinese NER Using Flat-Lattice Transformer)in each platform into a global part and a local part.The local part is used to capture the characteristics of the local data in each platform and is updated using locally labeled data.The global part is learned across different operation platforms to capture the shared NER knowledge.Its local gradients fromdifferent platforms are aggregated to update the global model,which is further delivered to each platform to update their global part.Experiments on two publicly available Chinese datasets and one power grid dataset validate the effectiveness of our method.

Chinese Named Entity Recognition with Character-Level BLSTM and Soft Attention Model

Unlike named entity recognition(NER)for English,the absence of word boundaries reduces the final accuracy for Chinese NER.To avoid accumulated error introduced by word segmentation,a deep model extracting character-level features is carefully built and becomes a basis for a new Chinese NER method,which is proposed in this paper.This method converts the raw text to a character vector sequence,extracts global text features with a bidirectional long short-term memory and extracts local text features with a soft attention model.A linear chain conditional random field is also used to label all the characters with the help of the global and local text features.Experiments based on the Microsoft Research Asia(MSRA)dataset are designed and implemented.Results show that the proposed method has good performance compared to other methods,which proves that the global and local text features extracted have a positive influence on Chinese NER.For more variety in the test domains,a resume dataset from Sina Finance is also used to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A Machine Learning-Based Attack Detection and Prevention System in Vehicular Named Data Networking

Named Data Networking(NDN)is gaining a significant attention in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks(VANET)due to its in-network content caching,name-based routing,and mobility-supporting characteristics.Nevertheless,existing NDN faces three significant challenges,including security,privacy,and routing.In particular,security attacks,such as Content Poisoning Attacks(CPA),can jeopardize legitimate vehicles with malicious content.For instance,attacker host vehicles can serve consumers with invalid information,which has dire consequences,including road accidents.In such a situation,trust in the content-providing vehicles brings a new challenge.On the other hand,ensuring privacy and preventing unauthorized access in vehicular(VNDN)is another challenge.Moreover,NDN’s pull-based content retrieval mechanism is inefficient for delivering emergency messages in VNDN.In this connection,our contribution is threefold.Unlike existing rule-based reputation evaluation,we propose a Machine Learning(ML)-based reputation evaluation mechanism that identifies CPA attackers and legitimate nodes.Based on ML evaluation results,vehicles accept or discard served content.Secondly,we exploit a decentralized blockchain system to ensure vehicles’privacy by maintaining their information in a secure digital ledger.Finally,we improve the default routing mechanism of VNDN from pull to a push-based content dissemination using Publish-Subscribe(Pub-Sub)approach.We implemented and evaluated our ML-based classification model on a publicly accessible BurST-Asutralian dataset for Misbehavior Detection(BurST-ADMA).We used five(05)hybrid ML classifiers,including Logistic Regression,Decision Tree,K-Nearest Neighbors,Random Forest,and Gaussian Naive Bayes.The qualitative results indicate that Random Forest has achieved the highest average accuracy rate of 100%.Our proposed research offers the most accurate solution to detect CPA in VNDN for safe,secure,and reliable vehicle communication.

A Cache Replacement Policy Based on Multi-Factors for Named Data Networking

Named Data Networking(NDN)is one of the most excellent future Internet architectures and every router in NDN has the capacity of caching contents passing by.It greatly reduces network traffic and improves the speed of content distribution and retrieval.In order to make full use of the limited caching space in routers,it is an urgent challenge to make an efficient cache replacement policy.However,the existing cache replacement policies only consider very few factors that affect the cache performance.In this paper,we present a cache replacement policy based on multi-factors for NDN(CRPM),in which the content with the least cache value is evicted from the caching space.CRPM fully analyzes multi-factors that affect the caching performance,puts forward the corresponding calculation methods,and utilize the multi-factors to measure the cache value of contents.Furthermore,a new cache value function is constructed,which makes the content with high value be stored in the router as long as possible,so as to ensure the efficient use of cache resources.The simulation results show that CPRM can effectively improve cache hit ratio,enhance cache resource utilization,reduce energy consumption and decrease hit distance of content acquisition.

A Novel Named Entity Recognition Scheme for Steel E-Commerce Platforms Using a Lite BERT

In the era of big data,E-commerce plays an increasingly important role,and steel E-commerce certainly occupies a positive position.However,it is very difficult to choose satisfactory steel raw materials from diverse steel commodities online on steel E-commerce platforms in the purchase of staffs.In order to improve the efficiency of purchasers searching for commodities on the steel E-commerce platforms,we propose a novel deep learning-based loss function for named entity recognition(NER).Considering the impacts of small sample and imbalanced data,in our NER scheme,the focal loss,the label smoothing,and the cross entropy are incorporated into a lite bidirectional encoder representations from transformers(BERT)model to avoid the over-fitting.Moreover,through the analysis of different classic annotation techniques used to tag data,an ideal one is chosen for the training model in our proposed scheme.Experiments are conducted on Chinese steel E-commerce datasets.The experimental results show that the training time of a lite BERT(ALBERT)-based method is much shorter than that of BERT-based models,while achieving the similar computational performance in terms of metrics precision,recall,and F1 with BERT-based models.Meanwhile,our proposed approach performs much better than that of combining Word2Vec,bidirectional long short-term memory(Bi-LSTM),and conditional random field(CRF)models,in consideration of training time and F1.

Chinese Cyber Threat Intelligence Named Entity Recognition via RoBERTa-wwm-RDCNN-CRF

In recent years,cyber attacks have been intensifying and causing great harm to individuals,companies,and countries.The mining of cyber threat intelligence(CTI)can facilitate intelligence integration and serve well in combating cyber attacks.Named Entity Recognition(NER),as a crucial component of text mining,can structure complex CTI text and aid cybersecurity professionals in effectively countering threats.However,current CTI NER research has mainly focused on studying English CTI.In the limited studies conducted on Chinese text,existing models have shown poor performance.To fully utilize the power of Chinese pre-trained language models(PLMs)and conquer the problem of lengthy infrequent English words mixing in the Chinese CTIs,we propose a residual dilated convolutional neural network(RDCNN)with a conditional random field(CRF)based on a robustly optimized bidirectional encoder representation from transformers pre-training approach with whole word masking(RoBERTa-wwm),abbreviated as RoBERTa-wwm-RDCNN-CRF.We are the first to experiment on the relevant open source dataset and achieve an F1-score of 82.35%,which exceeds the common baseline model bidirectional encoder representation from transformers(BERT)-bidirectional long short-term memory(BiLSTM)-CRF in this field by about 19.52%and exceeds the current state-of-the-art model,BERT-RDCNN-CRF,by about 3.53%.In addition,we conducted an ablation study on the encoder part of the model to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and an in-depth investigation of the PLMs and encoder part of the model to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.The RoBERTa-wwm-RDCNN-CRF model,the shared pre-processing,and augmentation methods can serve the subsequent fundamental tasks such as cybersecurity information extraction and knowledge graph construction,contributing to important applications in downstream tasks such as intrusion detection and advanced persistent threat(APT)attack detection.

Data Masking for Chinese Electronic Medical Records with Named Entity Recognition

With the rapid development of information technology,the electronifi-cation of medical records has gradually become a trend.In China,the population base is huge and the supporting medical institutions are numerous,so this reality drives the conversion of paper medical records to electronic medical records.Electronic medical records are the basis for establishing a smart hospital and an important guarantee for achieving medical intelligence,and the massive amount of electronic medical record data is also an important data set for conducting research in the medical field.However,electronic medical records contain a large amount of private patient information,which must be desensitized before they are used as open resources.Therefore,to solve the above problems,data masking for Chinese electronic medical records with named entity recognition is proposed in this paper.Firstly,the text is vectorized to satisfy the required format of the model input.Secondly,since the input sentences may have a long or short length and the relationship between sentences in context is not negligible.To this end,a neural network model for named entity recognition based on bidirectional long short-term memory(BiLSTM)with conditional random fields(CRF)is constructed.Finally,the data masking operation is performed based on the named entity recog-nition results,mainly using regular expression filtering encryption and principal component analysis(PCA)word vector compression and replacement.In addi-tion,comparison experiments with the hidden markov model(HMM)model,LSTM-CRF model,and BiLSTM model are conducted in this paper.The experi-mental results show that the method used in this paper achieves 92.72%Accuracy,92.30%Recall,and 92.51%F1_score,which has higher accuracy compared with other models.
