Rethinking Negative Instances for Generative Named Entity Recognition

Model Card for GNER-T5-base

We introduce GNER, a Generative Named Entity Recognition framework, which demonstrates enhanced zero-shot capabilities across unseen entity domains. Experiments on two representative generative models, i.e., LLaMA and Flan-T5, show that the integration of negative instances into the training process yields substantial performance enhancements. The resulting models, GNER-LLaMA and GNER-T5, outperform state-of-the-art (SoTA) approaches by a large margin, achieving improvements of 8 and 11 points in $F_1$ score, respectively. Code and models are publicly available.

PreTrained Models

We release five GNER models based on LLaMA (7B) and Flan-T5 (base, large, xl and xxl).

Demo usage

You should install the dependencies:

pip install torch>=2.1.0 datasets>=2.17.0 deepspeed>=0.13.4 accelerate>=0.27.2 transformers>=4.38.1 protobuf>=4.25.3 

Below is an example using GNER-T5

>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("dyyyyyyyy/GNER-T5-xxl")
>>> model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("dyyyyyyyy/GNER-T5-xxl")
>>> model = model.eval()
>>> instruction_template = "Please analyze the sentence provided, identifying the type of entity for each word on a token-by-token basis.\nOutput format is: word_1(label_1), word_2(label_2), ...\nWe'll use the BIO-format to label the entities, where:\n1. B- (Begin) indicates the start of a named entity.\n2. I- (Inside) is used for words within a named entity but are not the first word.\n3. O (Outside) denotes words that are not part of a named entity.\n"
>>> entity_labels = ["genre", "rating", "review", "plot", "song", "average ratings", "director", "character", "trailer", "year", "actor", "title"]
>>> instruction = f"{instruction_template}\nUse the specific entity tags: {', '.join(label_list)} and O.\n"
>>> inputs = tokenizer(instruction, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
>>> outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=640)
>>> response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
>>> print(response)
"did(O) george(B-actor) clooney(I-actor) make(O) a(O) musical(B-genre) in(O) the(O) 1980s(B-year)"
