Natural Language Processing Almost from Scratch

Researchers proposed a unified neural network architecture and learning algorithm for natural language processing tasks including part-of-speech tagging, chunking, named entity recognition, and semantic role labeling, published on arXiv on March 2, 2011. The system learns internal representations from vast amounts of mostly unlabeled data, avoiding task-specific engineering, and serves as a basis for a freely available tagging system with minimal computational requirements.

Abstract:We propose a unified neural network architecture and learning algorithm that can be applied to various natural language processing tasks including: part-of-speech tagging, chunking, named entity recognition, and semantic role labeling. This versatility is achieved by trying to avoid task-specific engineering and therefore disregarding a lot of prior knowledge. Instead of exploiting man-made input features carefully optimized for each task, our system learns internal representations on the basis of vast amounts of mostly unlabeled training data. This work is then used as a basis for building a freely available tagging system with good performance and minimal computational requirements.
