NE-R1: Enhancing Named Entity Recognition Model via Reinforcement Learning

Read the original on arXiv AI →

NE‑R1 is a framework that improves Named Entity Recognition by using a retrieval‑on‑demand mechanism and a two‑stage training process that includes instruction tuning and reinforcement learning with chain‑of‑thought. It balances the use of internal model parameters and external knowledge through a multi‑dimensional reward that considers accuracy and retrieval benefit. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art results, improving in‑domain F1 by 2.52% and zero‑shot cross‑domain F1 by 1.18%.
