Seed-Guided Fine-Grained Entity Typing in Science and Engineering Domains

AAAI 2024technical

Accurately typing entity mentions from text segments is a fundamental task for various natural language processing applications. Many previous approaches rely on massive human-annotated data to perform entity typing. Nevertheless, collecting such data in highly specialized science and engineering do…
