Abstract

Little evaluation has been performed on the many modeling options for span-based approaches. This paper investigates the performances of a wide range of span and context representation methods and their combinations with a focus on scientific named entity recognition (science NER). While some most common classical span encodings and their combination prove to be effective, few conclusions can be derived to context representations.
