State-Of-The-Art Named Entity Recognition and Related Extraction: A Review
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Named Entity Recognition (NER) has evolved significantly as a key component in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). This review paper encapsulates the progress and trends in NER by exploring state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies employed across various domains. It highlights the shift from traditional rule-based models to advanced machine learning approaches, including deep learning and transformers, which have markedly enhanced the performance of NER systems. Particular emphasis is given to the adaptation of NER for specific needs such as biomedical information extraction, cybersecurity, and multilingual entity recognition, reflecting the growing complexity and diversity of application fields. Recent advances demonstrate the integration of sophisticated technologies like graph attention networks and multimodal frameworks, which leverage both contextual and syntactic features to address the challenges of polysemy and entity disambiguation. The review also discusses the crucial role of domain-specific adaptations, the importance of large, annotated datasets, and ongoing efforts to mitigate limitations related to data scarcity in low-resource languages. This comprehensive overview not only sheds light on the technological advancements but also sets the stage for future explorations aimed at further refining the accuracy and applicability of NER systems across more diverse and challenging datasets.
