Entity Recognition for Chinese Hazardous Chemical Accident Data Based on Rules and a Pre-Trained Model

Abstract

Due to the fragile physicochemical properties of hazardous chemicals, the chances of leakage and explosion during production, transportation, and storage are quite high. In recent years, hazardous chemical accidents have occurred frequently, posing a great threat to people’s lives and property. Hence, it is crucial to analyze hazardous chemical accidents and establish corresponding warning mechanisms and safeguard measures. At present, most hazardous-chemical-accident data exist in text format. However, named entity recognition (NER), as a method to extract useful information from text data, has not been fully utilized in the field of Chinese hazardous-chemical handling. The challenge is that Chinese NER is more difficult than English NER, because the boundaries of Chinese are fuzzy. In addition, the descriptions of hazardous chemical accidents are colloquial and lacks relevant labeling data. Further, most current models do not consider identifying the entities related to accident scenarios, losses, and causes. To tackle these issues, we propose a model based on a rule template and Bert-BiLSTM-CRF (RT-BBC) to recognize named entities from unstructured Chinese hazardous chemical accident reports. Comprehensive experiments on real-world datasets show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Specifically, RT-BBC outperformed the most competitive method by 6.6% and 3.6% in terms of accuracy and F1.

Chinese Named Entity Recognition in Football Based on ALBERT-BiLSTM Model

“…Named entity recognition in the Chinese language is used in agriculture [39], natural hazards [40], the military [41], engineering [42], chemicals [43], and mainly in medicine, covering electronic health records [43,44] and clinical texts [45,46]. Although named entity recognition has many applications in Chinese, it still has a variety of challenges.…”

“…Zhang et al [26] used the bidirectional RNN model to solve the problem of CNN not being able to learn the temporal features and to obtain the long-distance feature information in the text. Dai et al [27] used a rule-based template and Bert-BiLSTM-CRF to identify hazardous material accident report documents with structured text in Chinese, carried out a named entity recognition task, which solved the problem of the colloquial description of professional words in the report, and verified the effectiveness of the method in the dataset. Panoutsopoulos et al [28] built a model on Python's spaCy library and trained it on a manually annotated text corpus, which improved the problem of domain ambiguity and consistency among annotators.…”
