Before revision:  (1) a novel CNN structure called CGS-CNN is proposed to capture glyph information from both character graphs and their neighboring graphs . (2) we provide a method with sliding window and Slice-Attention to extract interactive information between BERT representation and glyph representation  . Experiments are conducted on four NER datasets, showing that FGN with LSTM-CRF as tagger achieves new state-of-the-arts performance for Chinese NER.
