Abstract
This paper describes the system we submitted to the SemEval 2023 Task 2 Multilingual Complex Named Entity Recognition (MultiCoNER II) in four monolingual tracks (English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese). Considering the low context setting and the fine-grained taxonomy presented in this task, we propose a system that leverages the language model representations using hand-crafted tag descriptors. We explored how integrating the contextualized representations of tag descriptors with a language model can help improve the model performance for this task. We performed our evaluations on the development and test sets used in the task for the Practice Phase and the Evaluation Phase respectively.- Anthology ID:
