Few-NERD: Not Only a Few-shot NER Dataset

This is the source code of the ACL-IJCNLP 2021 paper: Few-NERD: A Few-shot Named Entity Recognition Dataset. Check out the website of Few-NERD.

Overview

Few-NERD is a large-scale, fine-grained manually annotated named entity recognition dataset, which contains 8 coarse-grained types, 66 fine-grained types, 188,200 sentences, 491,711 entities and 4,601,223 tokens. Three benchmark tasks are built, one is supervised: Few-NERD (SUP) and the other two are few-shot: Few-NERD (INTRA) and Few-NERD (INTER).

The schema of Few-NERD is:

Few-NERD is manually annotated based on the context, for example, in the sentence "London is the fifth album by the British rock band…", the named entity London is labeled as Art-Music.

Few-NERD Dataset

Get the Data

  • Few-NERD contains 8 coarse-grained types, 66 fine-grained types, 188,200 sentences, 491,711 entities and 4,601,223 tokens.
  • We have splitted the data into 3 training mode. One for supervised setting-supervised, theo ther two for few-shot setting inter and intra. Each contains three files train.txtdev.txttest.txtsuperviseddatasets are randomly split. inter datasets are randomly split within coarse type, i.e. each file contains all 8 coarse types but different fine-grained types. intra datasets are randomly split by coarse type.
  • The splitted dataset can be downloaded automatically once you run the model. If you want to download the data manually, run data/download.sh, remember to add parameter supervised/inter/intra to indicte the type of the dataset

To obtain the three benchmarks datasets of Few-NERD, simply run the bash file data/download.sh

Key Implementations

Sampler

As established in our paper, we design an N way K~2K shot sampling strategy in our work , the implementation is sat util/fewshotsampler.py.

ProtoBERT

Prototypical nets with BERT is implemented in model/proto.py.

How to Run

Run train_demo.py. The arguments are presented below. The default parameters are for proto model on intermode dataset.

-- mode                 training mode, must be inter, intra, or supervised
-- trainN               N in train
-- N                    N in val and test
-- K                    K shot
-- Q                    Num of query per class
-- batch_size           batch size
-- train_iter           num of iters in training
-- val_iter             num of iters in validation
-- test_iter            num of iters in testing
-- val_step             val after training how many iters
-- model                model name, must be proto, nnshot or structshot
-- max_length           max length of tokenized sentence
-- lr                   learning rate
-- weight_decay         weight decay
-- grad_iter            accumulate gradient every x iterations
-- load_ckpt            path to load model
-- save_ckpt            path to save model
-- fp16                 use nvidia apex fp16
-- only_test            no training process, only test
-- ckpt_name            checkpoint name
-- seed                 random seed
-- pretrain_ckpt        bert pre-trained checkpoint
-- dot                  use dot instead of L2 distance in distance calculation
-- use_sgd_for_bert     use SGD instead of AdamW for BERT.
# only for structshot
-- tau                  StructShot parameter to re-normalizes the transition probabilities
  • For hyperparameter --tau in structshot, we use 0.32 in 1-shot setting, 0.318 for 5-way-5-shot setting, and 0.434 for 10-way-5-shot setting.

  • Take structshot model on inter dataset for example, the expriments can be run as follows.
