Abstract
A novel system is described for performing hierarchical named entity recognition ('HNER') processing that includes identifying categories at different hierarchical levels for a named entity. The HNER system uses a novel architecture comprising an encoder model and a system of trained machine learning (ML) models to perform the HNER processing, where each trained model in the system of ML models corresponds to a particular hierarchical level, and each model is trained to extract one or more named entities and predict a category for each extracted named entity for the corresponding hierarchical level. Novel techniques are also described for training the various models in HNER system including an encoder model and models in the system of models.
