Research paper highlights PLM struggles with infrequent entities

A new research paper titled "All Entities are Not Created Equal: Examining the Long Tail for Ultra-Fine Entity Typing" explores the limitations of pre-trained language models (PLMs) in handling entities that appear infrequently in their training data. The study proposes a method to approximate the pre-training distribution of entities and demonstrates that PLMs struggle with these "long tail" entities. The findings suggest that current PLM-based approaches are insufficient for tasks requiring robust performance on infrequent entities, indicating a need for knowledge-infused methods or alternative solutions.

    All Entities are Not Created Equal: Examining the Long Tail for Ultra-Fine Entity Typing

    arXiv:2410.17355v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Due to their capacity to acquire world knowledge from large corpora, pre-trained language models (PLMs) are extensively used in ultra-fine entity typing tasks where the space of labels is extremely large. In this work, we explor…
