A method and an apparatus for named entity recognition, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium are provided. In the method, text elements are traversed according to a text span to obtain candidate entity words. Then, a class to which the candidate entity word belongs is recognized. The recognizing of the class includes generating a prompt template corresponding to the candidate entity word, and concatenating the text to be recognized and the prompt template to obtain a concatenated text; generating vector representations of the text elements in the concatenated text; generating the vector representation of the candidate entity word according to the vector representations of the text elements of each candidate entity word in the concatenated text, and the vector representation of the text element of the mask word; and classifying the vector representation of the candidate entity word to obtain the class of the candidate entity word.

Disclosed are a table recognition method and apparatus. The table recognition method includes steps of obtaining an image vision feature and a character content feature of a table image; fusing the image vision feature and the character content feature of the table image to acquire a first fusion feature, and carrying out recognition based on the first fusion feature to acquire a table structure; and performing, based on the table structure, character recognition on the table image to acquire table character contents.

A method and an apparatus for machine reading comprehension, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium are provided. In the method, a paragraph-question pair is obtained, and subword vectors corresponding to subwords in the paragraph-question pair are generated. Then, for each subword, relative positions of the subword with respect to the other subwords are determined based on distances, and self-attention information of the subword in a first part and mutual attention information of the subword in a second part are calculated by using the relative positions and the subword vector. Then, a fusion vector of the subword is generated based on the self-attention information and the mutual attention information. Then, the fusion vectors of the subwords are input to a decoder of a machine reading comprehension model so as to obtain an answer predicted by the decoder.

A method and an apparatus for sequence labeling on an entity text, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium are provided. In the method, a start position of an entity text within a target text is determined. Then, a first matrix is generated based on the start position of the entity text. Elements in the first matrix indicates focusable weights of each word with respect to other words in the target text. Then, a named entity recognition model is generated using the first matrix. The named entity recognition model is obtained by training using first training data, the first training data includes word embeddings corresponding to respective texts in a training text set, and the texts are texts whose entity label has been labeled. Then, the target text is input to the named entity recognition model, and probability distribution of the entity label is output.

A method and an apparatus for fusing position information, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium are provided. In the method, words of an input sentence are segmented to obtain a first sequence of words in the input sentence, and absolute position information of the words in the first sequence is generated. Then, subwords of the words in the first sequence are segmented to obtain a second sequence including subwords, and position information of the subwords in the second sequence are generated, based on the absolute position information of the words in the first sequence, to which the respective subwords belong. Then, the position information of the subwords in the second sequence are fused into a self-attention model to perform model training or model prediction.
