For the NER task, we consider both Chinese datasets, i.e., OntoNotes4.0 BIBREF34 and MSRA BIBREF35, and English datasets, i.e., CoNLL2003 BIBREF36 and OntoNotes5.0 BIBREF37. Table shows experimental results on NER datasets. For English datasets including CoNLL2003 and OntoNotes5.0, our proposed method outperforms BERT-MRCBIBREF38 by +0.29 and +0.96 respectively. We observe huge performance boosts on Chinese datasets, achieving F1 improvements by +0.97 and +2.36 on MSRA and OntoNotes4.0, respectively. As far as we are concerned, we are setting new SOTA performances on all of the four NER datasets.
What are method's improvements of F1 for NER task for English and Chinese datasets?
