Large Language Models and NER: better results with less work

Rosamond Elizabeth Thalken, Matthew Wilkens, David Mimno

Abstract: Our work considers how new advances in pretrained text-to-text generation models might make named entity recognition more accurate, flexible, and streamlined for the digital humanist. We provide an example of how text-to-text generative models can identify mentions of characters, authors, and book names within Goodreads book reviews.
