A first named entity recognition (NER) system may be adapted to create a second NER system that is able to recognize a new named entity using few-shot learning. The second NER system may process support tokens that provide one or more examples of the new named entity and may process input tokens that may contain the new named entity. The second NER system may use a classifier of the first NER system to compute support token embeddings from the support tokens and input token embeddings from the input tokens. The second NER system may then recognize the new named entity in the input tokens using abstract tag transition probabilities and/or distances between the support token embeddings and the input token embeddings.
