|
|
| There are several coding schemes for encoding entity annotations as
|
|
| token tags. These coding schemes are equally expressive, but not
|
|
| necessarily equally learnable.
|
|
| #[+a("http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W09-1119") Ratinov and Roth]
|
|
| showed that the minimal #[strong Begin], #[strong In], #[strong Out]
|
|
| scheme was more difficult to learn than the #[strong BILUO] scheme that
|
|
| we use, which explicitly marks boundary tokens.
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| spaCy translates the character offsets into this scheme, in order to
|
|
| decide the cost of each action given the current state of the entity
|
|
| recogniser. The costs are then used to calculate the gradient of the
|
|
| loss, to train the model. The exact algorithm is a pastiche of
|
|
| well-known methods, and is not currently described in any single
|
|
| publication. The model is a greedy transition-based parser guided by a
|
|
| linear model whose weights are learned using the averaged perceptron
|
|
| loss, via the #[+a("http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/C12-1059") dynamic oracle]
|
|
| imitation learning strategy. The transition system is equivalent to the
|
|
| BILOU tagging scheme.
