Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the disclosure are included to assist understanding, and which are to be considered as merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the method for training an entity recognition model in this embodiment may specifically include the following steps:

s101, acquiring training data, wherein the training data comprises a plurality of training texts and entity labeling results corresponding to different entity types in the plurality of training texts;

s102, constructing a neural network model comprising a first network layer, a second network layer and a third network layer, wherein the first network layer is used for obtaining a first semantic vector sequence of a training text according to the training text and an industry dictionary corresponding to different entity types, and the second network layer is used for obtaining a second semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the first semantic vector sequence of the training text and a target entity type vector;

s103, training the neural network model by using the plurality of training texts, the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types, the target entity type vectors and the entity labeling results corresponding to different entity types in the plurality of training texts to obtain an entity recognition model.

According to the training method of the entity recognition model, the neural network model is trained in a mode of introducing the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types and the target entity type vectors, so that the neural network model can learn the dependency relationship among different entities in the text and is not limited by the entity types of the entities in the text which are overlapped, and the accuracy of the entity recognition model in recognizing the entities corresponding to the different entity types in the text is improved.

In the training data obtained by executing S101, the entity labeling result of the training text is an entity corresponding to different entity types in the training text, and the same entity in the training text may correspond to multiple entity types; in this embodiment, all entities corresponding to different entity types in the training text may be labeled, or only entities corresponding to a specific entity type in the training text may be labeled.

The entity type in this embodiment includes at least one of a brand entity type, a category entity type, a color entity type, a crowd entity type, a time entity type, and a style entity type, and the number of the entity types is not limited in this embodiment.

For example, if the training text in this embodiment is "spring of jeep jacket man", the entity labeling result of the training text may be: a "Jeep" corresponding to a brand entity type, a "jacket" corresponding to a category entity type, a "man" corresponding to a crowd entity type, a "spring" corresponding to a time entity type, and a "spring" corresponding to a style entity type, and the like.

In this embodiment, after the training data of the entity labeling result including the plurality of training texts and the plurality of training texts is obtained by executing S101, S102 is executed to construct a neural network model including a first network layer, a second network layer, and a third network layer.

In the neural network model constructed by executing S102 in this embodiment, the first network layer is configured to obtain a first semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the training text and the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types.

Specifically, when the first network layer in this embodiment obtains the first semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the training text and the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types, an optional implementation manner that can be adopted is as follows: taking the training text as input to obtain an initial semantic vector of each semantic unit in the training text; matching each semantic unit in an industry dictionary corresponding to different entity types, and obtaining an identification vector of each semantic unit according to a matching result; splicing the initial semantic vector and the identification vector of each semantic unit, and obtaining a first semantic vector of each semantic unit according to a splicing result; and obtaining a first semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the first semantic vector of each semantic unit.

The first network layer in this embodiment is composed of a first neural network and a second neural network; the first neural network is a pre-training model, such as an Ernie model, and is used for obtaining initial semantic vectors of semantic units in a training text according to the training text; the second neural network is a recurrent neural network, such as a bidirectional long-short term memory network, and is used for obtaining the first semantic vector of each semantic unit according to the splicing result between the initial semantic vector of each semantic unit in the training text and the identification vector of each semantic unit, and correspondingly obtaining the first semantic vector sequence of the training text.

The system comprises a plurality of industry dictionaries, a plurality of word processing units and a plurality of word processing units, wherein each industry dictionary corresponds to different entity types, and different industry dictionaries comprise a plurality of words corresponding to different entity types; the embodiment can also update the used industry dictionary at regular time.

For example, the industry dictionary corresponding to the brand entity type in the embodiment includes words of different brands; the industry dictionary corresponding to the entity type of the item class comprises words of different item classes.

In this embodiment, when matching each semantic unit in an industry dictionary corresponding to different entity types and obtaining an identifier vector of each semantic unit according to a matching result, an optional implementation manner that can be adopted is as follows: setting the sequence of the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types; for each semantic unit, matching the semantic unit in industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types in sequence; and in the case that the word matched with the semantic unit exists in the industry dictionary, setting the vector corresponding to the industry dictionary position in the identification vector to be 1, and otherwise, setting the vector to be 0.

For example, if there are 3 industry dictionaries in the present embodiment, which are an industry dictionary 1 corresponding to the brand entity type, an industry dictionary 2 corresponding to the item entity type, and an industry dictionary 3 corresponding to the time entity type in sequence, if the semantic unit included in the training text is "jeep", and only the term "jeep" is included in the industry dictionary 1, the identification vector corresponding to the semantic unit "jeep" obtained in the present embodiment is (1, 0, 0).

That is to say, the first network layer in this embodiment enables the first semantic vector to be capable of fusing entity types by introducing a manner of an industry dictionary corresponding to different entity types, so that the accuracy of the obtained first semantic vector sequence is improved.

In the neural network model constructed by executing S102, the second network layer is configured to obtain a second semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the first semantic vector sequence of the training text and the target entity type vector; the target entity type vector in this embodiment corresponds to the target entity type identified from the training text.

Specifically, when the second network layer in this embodiment obtains the second semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the first semantic vector sequence of the training text and the target entity type vector, the optional implementation manner that can be adopted is as follows: performing attention calculation according to the first semantic vector of each semantic unit in the first semantic vector sequence to obtain a first calculation result of each semantic unit; performing attention calculation according to the first semantic vector of each semantic unit in the first semantic vector sequence and the target entity type vector to obtain a second calculation result of each semantic unit; splicing the first calculation result and the second calculation result of each semantic unit to obtain a second semantic vector of each semantic unit; and obtaining a second semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the second semantic vector of each semantic unit.

In this embodiment, when obtaining the target entity type vector, the following method may be adopted: determining a target entity type, the target entity type corresponding to an entity type of an entity to be identified from the training text; and taking an entity type vector corresponding to the target entity type as a target entity type vector.

In this embodiment, when obtaining the entity type vector corresponding to the entity type, the optional implementation manner that may be adopted is: determining descriptive terms for different entity types, such as brand entity type "brand"; after replacing the entity in the training text with a corresponding description word, for example, replacing "jeep" in the training text with "brand", and performing unsupervised learning on the obtained replacement text, for example, performing unsupervised learning by using an Erine model; and taking the vector corresponding to the description word in the replacement text as an entity type vector of each entity type, for example, taking the vector of the description word obtained after preset learning times as the entity type vector. The embodiment may also update the entity type vector according to the above method in a timing manner.

The second network layer in this embodiment is composed of a first attention network and a second attention network; the first attention network is used for carrying out attention calculation according to the first semantic vector of each semantic unit in the first semantic vector sequence to obtain a first calculation result of each semantic unit; the second attention network is used for performing attention calculation according to the first semantic vector of each semantic unit in the first semantic vector sequence and the target entity type vector to obtain a second calculation result of each semantic unit.

In this embodiment, when performing attention calculation according to the first semantic vector of each semantic unit in the first semantic vector sequence and the target entity type vector to obtain the second calculation result of each semantic unit, an optional implementation manner that can be adopted is as follows: calculating the similarity between the target entity type vector and the first semantic vector of each semantic unit, for example, calculating the cosine similarity; and performing attention calculation according to the calculated similarity and the target entity type vector to obtain a second calculation result of each semantic unit, for example, performing dot multiplication on each similarity and the target entity type vector to obtain the second calculation result.

That is to say, in this embodiment, by obtaining the target entity type vector, the neural network model can identify the entity corresponding to the target entity type in the training text, and thus accuracy of the neural network model in entity identification is improved.

In the neural network model constructed by executing S102, the third network layer is configured to label, according to the second semantic vector sequence of the training text, an entity in the training text corresponding to the target entity type; the third network layer in this embodiment may be a Conditional Random field (Conditional Random Fields) model, and identify a corresponding entity in the training text in a BIO labeling manner.

For example, if the training text in this embodiment is "jeep jacket man spring", and if the entity type corresponding to the target entity type vector is a brand entity type, the embodiment marks the brand entity "jeep" in the training text.

In this embodiment, after the step S102 of constructing the neural network model including the first network layer, the second network layer, and the third network layer is performed, the step S103 of training the neural network model using a plurality of training texts, an industry dictionary corresponding to different entity types, a target entity type vector, and entity labeling results corresponding to different entity types in the plurality of training texts is performed to obtain an entity recognition model.

By using the entity recognition model obtained by executing the training in S103 in this embodiment, after the text to be recognized, the dictionaries corresponding to different entity types, and the target entity type vector are used as the input of the entity recognition model, the target entity in the text to be recognized can be obtained according to the labeling result output by the entity recognition model.

Specifically, in this embodiment, when executing S103 to train the neural network model using the multiple training texts, the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types, the target entity type vector, and the entity labeling results corresponding to different entity types in the multiple training texts, to obtain the entity recognition model, an optional implementation manner that can be adopted is as follows: aiming at each training text, taking the training text and industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types as the input of a first network layer to obtain a first semantic vector sequence output by the first network layer; taking the first semantic vector sequence and the target entity type vector as the input of a second network layer to obtain a second semantic vector sequence output by the second network layer; taking the second semantic vector sequence as the input of a third network layer, and obtaining an entity recognition result of the training text according to the output result of the third network layer; and updating parameters of the neural network model according to the entity recognition result of the training text and the entity marking result corresponding to the target entity type until the neural network model converges to obtain the entity recognition model.

In addition, after the neural network model in this embodiment finishes labeling the training text, a score corresponding to the training text is also output, so this embodiment may further include the following: determining training texts meeting preset conditions according to the scores corresponding to the training texts; adding the determined training text as a new sample to the training data for training the neural network model.

In this embodiment, when the training texts meeting the preset conditions are determined according to the scores corresponding to the training texts, the training texts with the scores larger than the preset threshold may be selected, and the uncertainty values of the training texts may be obtained based on a calculation method of the information entropy, so as to select the training texts with the uncertainty values smaller than the preset threshold.

In this embodiment, the unselected training texts may be directly discarded, or the training texts obtained by sampling may be manually labeled in a sampling manner.

That is to say, this embodiment can also realize the reinforcing of training data, screens the training text according to the mark result for neural network model can use the better training data of quality to train, thereby promotes the training quality of neural network model.

By adopting the method, the neural network model is trained by introducing the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types and the target entity type vectors, so that the neural network model can learn the dependency relationship between different entities in the text and is not limited by the entity types overlapped by the entities in the text, and the accuracy of the entity recognition model in recognizing the entities corresponding to the different entity types in the text is improved.

s203, aiming at each word in the industry dictionary, obtaining a text containing the word as a training text, and taking the word as an entity labeling result corresponding to the entity type of the industry dictionary where the word is located in the training text.

That is to say, this embodiment can combine data mining technique to obtain training data fast, has avoided the dependence problem to artifical label data, has reduced the training cost of neural network model.

In this embodiment, a small number of words corresponding to different entity types may be included in different seed word sets obtained by executing S201; in this embodiment, when S202 is executed, the words associated with the words in the seed word set may be added to the seed word set through the encyclopedic knowledge base, so as to obtain the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types.

In this embodiment, after the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types are obtained in S202, the rationality of each industry dictionary may also be verified, for example, the coverage rate and the matching rate of words included in the industry dictionary are verified.

In this embodiment, when the text including the words in the industry dictionary is obtained by executing S203, text search may be performed based on each word, so that automatic acquisition of the text is realized.

the first obtaining unit 501 is configured to obtain training data, where the training data includes a plurality of training texts and entity labeling results corresponding to different entity types in the plurality of training texts;

the building unit 502 is configured to build a neural network model including a first network layer, a second network layer, and a third network layer, where the first network layer is configured to obtain a first semantic vector sequence of a training text according to the training text and an industry dictionary corresponding to different entity types, and the second network layer is configured to obtain a second semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the first semantic vector sequence of the training text and a target entity type vector;

the training unit 503 is configured to train the neural network model using the multiple training texts, the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types, the target entity type vector, and the entity labeling results corresponding to different entity types in the multiple training texts, so as to obtain an entity recognition model.

In the training data acquired by the first acquiring unit 501, the entity labeling result of the training text is an entity corresponding to different entity types in the training text, and the same entity in the training text may correspond to multiple entity types; in this embodiment, all entities corresponding to different entity types in the training text may be labeled, or only entities corresponding to a specific entity type in the training text may be labeled.

When the first obtaining unit 501 obtains the training data, the following method may be adopted: acquiring seed word sets corresponding to different entity types; expanding the seed word set to obtain an industry dictionary corresponding to different entity types; and aiming at each word in the industry dictionary, obtaining a text containing the word as a training text, and taking the word as an entity labeling result corresponding to the entity type of the industry dictionary where the word is located in the training text.

That is to say, the first obtaining unit 501 can combine with a data mining technology to obtain training data quickly, so that the problem of dependence on manual labeling data is avoided, and the training cost of the neural network model is reduced.

In this embodiment, after the first obtaining unit 501 obtains the training data of the entity labeling result including a plurality of training texts and a plurality of training texts, the constructing unit 502 constructs the neural network model including the first network layer, the second network layer, and the third network layer.

In the neural network model constructed by the construction unit 502, the first network layer is configured to obtain a first semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the training text and the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types.

Specifically, when the first network layer constructed by the construction unit 502 obtains the first semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the training text and the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types, the optional implementation manner that can be adopted is as follows: taking the training text as input to obtain an initial semantic vector of each semantic unit in the training text; matching each semantic unit in an industry dictionary corresponding to different entity types, and obtaining an identification vector of each semantic unit according to a matching result; splicing the initial semantic vector and the identification vector of each semantic unit, and obtaining a first semantic vector of each semantic unit according to a splicing result; and obtaining a first semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the first semantic vector of each semantic unit.

The first network layer constructed by the construction unit 502 is composed of a first neural network and a second neural network; the first neural network is a pre-training model and is used for obtaining initial semantic vectors of all semantic units in a training text according to the training text; the second neural network is a recurrent neural network and is used for obtaining the first semantic vector of each semantic unit according to the splicing result between the initial semantic vector of each semantic unit in the training text and the identification vector of each semantic unit, and correspondingly obtaining the first semantic vector sequence of the training text.

The system comprises a plurality of industry dictionaries, a plurality of word processing units and a plurality of word processing units, wherein each industry dictionary corresponds to different entity types, and different industry dictionaries comprise a plurality of words corresponding to different entity types; the construction unit 502 can also update the used industry dictionary periodically.

The first network layer constructed by the construction unit 502 matches each semantic unit in the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types, and when obtaining the identification vector of each semantic unit according to the matching result, the optional implementation manner that can be adopted is: setting the sequence of the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types; for each semantic unit, matching the semantic unit in industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types in sequence; and in the case that the word matched with the semantic unit exists in the industry dictionary, setting the vector corresponding to the industry dictionary position in the identification vector to be 1, and otherwise, setting the vector to be 0.

That is to say, the first network layer constructed by the construction unit 502 enables the first semantic vector to be fused with the entity types by introducing the industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types, so that the accuracy of the obtained first semantic vector sequence is improved.

In the neural network model constructed by the construction unit 502, the second network layer is configured to obtain a second semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the first semantic vector sequence of the training text and the target entity type vector; the target entity type vector in this embodiment corresponds to the target entity type identified from the training text.

Specifically, when the second network layer constructed by the construction unit 502 obtains the second semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the first semantic vector sequence of the training text and the target entity type vector, the optional implementation manner that can be adopted is as follows: performing attention calculation according to the first semantic vector of each semantic unit in the first semantic vector sequence to obtain a first calculation result of each semantic unit; performing attention calculation according to the first semantic vector of each semantic unit in the first semantic vector sequence and the target entity type vector to obtain a second calculation result of each semantic unit; splicing the first calculation result and the second calculation result of each semantic unit to obtain a second semantic vector of each semantic unit; and obtaining a second semantic vector sequence of the training text according to the second semantic vector of each semantic unit.

When obtaining the target entity type vector, the constructing unit 502 may adopt the following manner: determining a target entity type, the target entity type corresponding to an entity type of an entity to be identified from the training text; and taking an entity type vector corresponding to the target entity type as a target entity type vector.

When the construction unit 502 obtains the entity type vector corresponding to the entity type, the optional implementation manner that can be adopted is as follows: determining description words of different entity types; after replacing the entity in the training text with the corresponding description word, carrying out unsupervised learning on the obtained replacement text; and taking the vector corresponding to the description word in the replacement text as an entity type vector of each entity type. The embodiment may also update the entity type vector according to the above method in a timing manner.

The second network layer constructed by the construction unit 502 is composed of a first attention network and a second attention network; the first attention network is used for carrying out attention calculation according to the first semantic vector of each semantic unit in the first semantic vector sequence to obtain a first calculation result of each semantic unit; the second attention network is used for performing attention calculation according to the first semantic vector of each semantic unit in the first semantic vector sequence and the target entity type vector to obtain a second calculation result of each semantic unit.

When the second network layer constructed by the construction unit 502 performs attention calculation according to the first semantic vector of each semantic unit in the first semantic vector sequence and the target entity type vector to obtain the second calculation result of each semantic unit, the optional implementation manner that can be adopted is as follows: calculating the similarity between the target entity type vector and the first semantic vector of each semantic unit; and performing attention calculation according to the calculated similarity and the target entity type vector to obtain a second calculation result of each semantic unit.

That is to say, the second network layer constructed by the construction unit 502 enables the neural network model to identify the entity corresponding to the target entity type in the training text by obtaining the target entity type vector, thereby improving the accuracy of the neural network model in entity identification.

In the neural network model constructed by the construction unit 502, the third network layer is configured to label, according to the second semantic vector sequence of the training text, an entity corresponding to the target entity type in the training text; the third network layer in this embodiment may be a Conditional Random field (Conditional Random Fields) model, and identify a corresponding entity in the training text in a BIO labeling manner.

In this embodiment, after the building unit 502 builds the neural network model including the first network layer, the second network layer, and the third network layer, the training unit 503 trains the neural network model using a plurality of training texts, an industry dictionary corresponding to different entity types, a target entity type vector, and entity labeling results corresponding to different entity types in the plurality of training texts to obtain an entity recognition model.

When the training unit 503 trains the neural network model using a plurality of training texts, an industry dictionary corresponding to different entity types, a target entity type vector, and entity labeling results corresponding to different entity types in the plurality of training texts to obtain an entity recognition model, an optional implementation manner that can be adopted is as follows: aiming at each training text, taking the training text and industry dictionaries corresponding to different entity types as the input of a first network layer to obtain a first semantic vector sequence output by the first network layer; taking the first semantic vector sequence and the target entity type vector as the input of a second network layer to obtain a second semantic vector sequence output by the second network layer; taking the second semantic vector sequence as the input of a third network layer, and obtaining an entity recognition result of the training text according to the output result of the third network layer; and updating parameters of the neural network model according to the entity recognition result of the training text and the entity marking result corresponding to the target entity type until the neural network model converges to obtain the entity recognition model.

In addition, after the neural network model in this embodiment finishes labeling the training text, the neural network model also outputs a score corresponding to the training text, so the training unit 503 may further include the following contents: determining training texts meeting preset conditions according to the scores corresponding to the training texts; adding the determined training text as a new sample to the training data for training the neural network model.

When determining the training texts meeting the preset conditions according to the scores corresponding to the training texts, the training unit 503 may select the training texts with the scores larger than the preset threshold, and may also obtain the uncertainty values of the training texts based on a calculation method of the information entropy, thereby selecting the training texts with the uncertainty values smaller than the preset threshold.

That is to say, the training unit 503 can also enhance the training data, and filter the training text according to the labeling result, so that the neural network model can be trained by using the training data with better quality, thereby improving the training quality of the neural network model.

When the target entity type vector is input into the entity identification model, the processing unit 602 may further input the entity type vector corresponding to the target entity type into the entity identification model as the target entity type vector according to the obtained target entity type, that is, this embodiment may also achieve the purpose of extracting the entity of the specific entity type in the text to be identified.
