Title
TBR-NER: Research on COVID-19 Text Information Extraction Based on Joint Learning of Topic Recognition and Named Entity Recognition
Abstract
There is a centralization of the core content in the text information of the new crown epidemic notification. This paper proposes a joint learning text information extraction method: TBR-NER (topic-based recognition named entity recognition) based on topic recognition and named entity recognition to predict the labeled risk areas and epidemic trajectory information in text information. Transfer learning and data augmentation are used to solve the problem of data scarcity caused by the initial local outbreak of the epidemic, and mutual understanding is achieved by topic self-labeling without introducing additional labeled data. Taking the epidemic cases in Hebei and Jilin provinces as examples, the reliability and effectiveness of the method are verified by five types of topic recognition and 15 types of entity information extraction. The experimental results show that, compared with the four existing NER methods, this method can achieve optimality faster through the mutual learning of each task at the early stage of training. The optimal accuracy in the independent test set can be improved by more than 20%, and the minimum loss value is significantly reduced. This also proves that the joint learning algorithm (TBR-NER) mentioned in this paper performs better in such tasks. The TBR-NER model has specific sociality and applicability and can help in epidemic prediction, prevention, and control.
