Inspired by recent advances in retrieval augmented methods in NLP~\citep{khandelwal2019generalization,khandelwal2020nearest,meng2021gnn}, in this paper, we introduce a $k$ nearest neighbor NER ($k$NN-NER) framework, which augments the…
Grounded Multimodal Named Entity Recognition (GMNER) extends traditional NER by jointly detecting textual mentions and grounding them to visual regions. While existing supervised methods achieve strong performance, they rely on costly…
Named entity recognition (NER) is highly sensitive to sentential syntactic and semantic properties where entities may be extracted according to how they are used and placed in the running text. To model such properties, one could rely on…
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is the task of identifying and classifying named entities in unstructured text. In the legal domain, named entities of interest may include the case parties, judges, names of courts, case numbers, references…
