1. Named Entity Recognition with Bidirectional LSTM-CNNs (2015 · 2 276 citations)
   The paper addresses named entity recognition (NER) for English. Strong NER systems have usually relied on hand-built features and large gazetteers. The authors propose a neural tagger that learns most of these signals on its own. Each token is represented by a pretrained word embedding plus a character-level vector…
2. Results of the WNUT2017 Shared Task on Novel and Emerging Entity Recognition (2017 · 534 citations)
   The paper examines a known weakness of named entity recognition: systems score well on standard benchmarks mainly because those benchmarks repeat frequent, familiar names, and they break down on rare or newly appearing entities in noisy social-media text.
