PaDeLLM-NER: Parallel Decoding in Large Language Models for Named Entity Recognition

NeurIPS 2024poster

In this study, we aim to reduce generation latency for Named Entity Recognition (NER) with Large Language Models (LLMs). The main cause of high latency in LLMs is the sequential decoding process, which autoregressively generates all labels and mentions for NER, significantly increase the sequence le…

PUnifiedNER: A Prompting-Based Unified NER System for Diverse Datasets

AAAI 2023technical

Much of named entity recognition (NER) research focuses on developing dataset-specific models based on data from the domain of interest, and a limited set of related entity types. This is frustrating as each new dataset requires a new model to be trained and stored. In this work, we present a ``vers…

What Makes Pre-trained Language Models Better Zero-shot Learners?

ACL 2023long

Current methods for prompt learning in zero-shot scenarios widely rely on a development set with sufficient human-annotated data to select the best-performing prompt template a posteriori. This is not ideal because in a real-world zero-shot scenario of practical relevance, no labelled data is availa…
