A Multi-task Approach for Named Entity Recognition in Social Media Data
Table 3: The scores of all the participants in the WNUT-2017 shared task. The metrics of the shared task are entity and surface form F1-scores. Our results are highlighted.
['[BOLD] Participants', '[BOLD] F1 - E (%)', '[BOLD] F1 - SF (%)']
Regarding the shared-task metrics, our approach achieves a 41.86% F1-score for entities and 40.24% for surface forms. In general, the final scores are low which states the difficulty of the task and that the problem is far from being solved.
