In this paper, we propose a method where, given training data in a related domain with similar (but not identical) named entity (NE) types and a small amount of in-domain training data, we use transfer learning to learn a domain-specific NE model. That is, the novelty in the task setup is that we assume not just domain mismatch, but also label mismatch.application/pdfen-AU© 2016 Association for Computational LinguisticsNamed entity recognition for novel types by transfer learning201610.18653/v1/d16-10872024-02-18
