Named Entity Recognition (NER) is the task of identifying spans that represent entities in sentences. Whether the entity spans are nested or discontinuous, the NER task can be categorized into the flat NER, nested NER, and discontinuous NER…
Ever-larger language models with ever-increasing capabilities are by now well-established text processing tools. Alas, information extraction tasks such as named entity recognition are still largely unaffected by this progress as they are…
Knowledge distillation has been successfully applied to Continual Learning Named Entity Recognition (CLNER) tasks, by using a teacher model trained on old-class data to distill old-class entities present in new-class data as a form of…
Named entity recognition (NER) is a fundamental task in natural language processing that aims to identify and classify named entities in text. However, span-based methods for NER typically assign entity types to text spans, resulting in an…
Traditional shape descriptors have been gradually replaced by convolutional neural networks due to their superior performance in feature extraction and classification. The state-of-the-art methods recognize object shapes via image…
The aim of Named Entity Recognition (NER) is to identify references of named entities in unstructured documents, and to classify them into pre-defined semantic categories. NER often aids from added background knowledge in the form of…
The versatility to learn from a handful of samples is the hallmark of human intelligence. Few-shot learning is an endeavour to transcend this capability down to machines. Inspired by the promise and power of probabilistic deep learning, we…
Few-shot NER aims to identify entities of target types with only limited number of illustrative instances. Unfortunately, few-shot NER is severely challenged by the intrinsic precise generalization problem, i.e., it is hard to accurately…
Existing anomaly detection paradigms overwhelmingly focus on training detection models using exclusively normal data or unlabeled data (mostly normal samples). One notorious issue with these approaches is that they are weak in…
Few-shot action recognition, i.e. recognizing new action classes given only a few examples, benefits from incorporating temporal information. Prior work either encodes such information in the representation itself and learns classifiers at…
Learning from a few examples is an important practical aspect of training classifiers. Various works have examined this aspect quite well. However, all existing approaches assume that the few examples provided are always correctly labeled.…
Large Language Models (LLMs, e.g., ChatGPT) have shown impressive zero- and few-shot capabilities in Named Entity Recognition (NER). However, these models can only be accessed via online APIs, which may cause data leak and non-reproducible…
Named Entity Recognition (NER) frequently suffers from the problem of insufficient labeled data, particularly in fine-grained NER scenarios. Although $K$-shot learning techniques can be applied, their performance tends to saturate when the…
Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Relation Classification (RC) are important steps in extracting information from unstructured text and formatting it into a machine-readable format. We present a survey of recent deep learning models that…
Traditional semantic segmentation tasks require a large number of labels and are difficult to identify unlearned categories. Few-shot semantic segmentation (FSS) aims to use limited labeled support images to identify the segmentation of new…

Few-shot classification aims to recognize unlabeled samples from unseen classes given only few labeled samples. The unseen classes and low-data problem make few-shot classification very challenging. Many existing approaches extracted…
Few-shot classification which aims to recognize unseen classes using very limited samples has attracted more and more attention. Usually, it is formulated as a metric learning problem. The core issue of few-shot classification is how to…
Temporal action detection (TAD) aims to detect the semantic labels and boundaries of action instances in untrimmed videos. Current mainstream approaches are multi-step solutions, which fall short in efficiency and flexibility. In this…
Few-shot classifiers have been shown to exhibit promising results in use cases where user-provided labels are scarce. These models are able to learn to predict novel classes simply by training on a non-overlapping set of classes. This can…
