摘要: 针对藏文命名实体识别任务中标注数据稀缺、分词困难及长实体识别效果不佳等挑战,提出一种基于字节级全局建模与门控特征融合机制的命名实体识别框架。该框架利用Byte Latent Transformer模型直接对原始UTF-8字节序列建模,利用其基于下一字节熵的动态分块机制获得不依赖固定词表的全局上下文表示,以规避传统分词器破坏实体边界并增强对未登录词的鲁棒性;同时设计门控线性条件融合模块,将对齐后的全局上下文特征以可控强度、按序列位置自适应地动态注入到保留精确边界信息的局部特征中,从而形成互补表示并提升跨度建模能力。在此基础上,模型结合BiLSTM-CRF完成序列建模与标签解码,兼顾全局语义建模与局部边界判别能力。在TibetanAI_NER和TibNER两个数据集上的实验结果表明,模型F1值相比各自最优模型分别提升11.5个百分点和4.53个百分点;消融实验进一步验证了全局特征与门控融合机制的协同贡献。结果表明,该框架在分词受限及低资源场景下能稳定提升实体边界判别能力,尤其对长实体识别更为有效,为低资源语言命名实体识别提供了一种可行的建模思路。

Abstract: Tibetan named entity recognition faces several practical challenges,including scarce annotated data,unreliable tokenization,and degraded performance on long entities.To address these issues,this paper proposes a NER framework based on byte-level global modeling and a gated feature fusion mechanism.Specifically,the framework employs the Byte Latent Transformer to directly model raw UTF-8 byte sequences,and leverages its entropy-based dynamic patching mechanism to obtain global contextual representations without relying on a fixed vocabulary.This effectively avoids entity boundary corruption introduced by conventional tokenizers and improves robustness to out-of-vocabulary patterns.Meanwhile,a gated linear conditional fusion module is designed to inject aligned global contextual features into local boundary-preserving representations with controllable strength in an adaptive,position-wise manner,thereby forming complementary features and enhancing span modeling capability.On this basis,the model combines BiLSTM and CRF to perform sequence modeling and label decoding,jointly preserving global semantic modeling and local boundary discrimination.Experimental results on the TibetanAI_NER and TibNER datasets show that the proposed model improves the F1 score by 11.5 and 4.53 percentage points,respectively,over the corresponding state-of-the-art baselines.Ablation studies further verify the synergistic contributions of the global features and the gated fusion mechanism.Overall,the proposed framework consistently strengthens entity boundary discrimination under segmentation-constrained and low-resource scenarios,with particularly clear gains on long entity recognition,providing a feasible modeling approach for NER in low-resource languages.
