ABSTRACT
The named entity recognition based on the epidemiological investigation of information on COVID-19 can help analyze the source and route of transmission of the epidemic to control the spread of the epidemic better. Therefore, this paper proposes a Chinese named entity recognition model BERT-BiLSTM-IDCNN-ELU-CRF (BBIEC) based on the epidemiological investigation of information on COVID-19 of the BERT pre-training model. The model first processes the unlabeled epidemiological investigation of information on COVID-19 into the character-level corpus and annotates it with artificial entities according to the BIOES character-level labeling system and then uses the BERT pre-training model to obtain the word vector with position information;then, through the bidirectional long-short term memory neural network (BiLSTM) and the improved iterated dilated convolutional neural network (IDCNN) extract global context and local features from the generated word vectors and concatenate them serially;output all possible label sequences to the conditional random field (CRF);finally pass the condition random The airport decodes and generates the entity tag sequence. The experimental results show that the model is better than other traditional models in recognizing the entity of the epidemiological investigation of information on COVID-19.
