On the Vietnamese Name Entity Recognition: A Deep Learning Method Approach

Abstract

Named entity recognition (NER) plays an important role in text-based information retrieval. In this paper, we combine Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) hochreiter1997,schuster1997 with Conditional Random Field (CRF) lafferty2001 to create a novel deep learning model for the NER problem. Each word as input of the deep learning model is represented by a Word2vec-trained vector. A word embedding set trained from about one million articles in 2018 collected through a Vietnamese news portal (baomoi.com). In addition, we concatenate a Word2Vecmikolov2013-trained vector with semantic feature vector (Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging, chunk-tag) and hidden syntactic feature vector (extracted by Bi-LSTM nerwork) to achieve the (so far best) result in Vietnamese NER system. The result was conducted on the data set VLSP2016 (Vietnamese Language and Speech Processing 2016 vlsp2016) competition.
