LLM enhances Named Entity Recognition for Nepali tweets

Researchers have explored the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve Named Entity Recognition (NER) for Nepali tweets, a task that is particularly challenging due to the low-resource nature of the language and the complexities of social media data. While LLMs generally underperform traditional Pretrained Language Models (PLMs) on standard NER tasks, this study found that LLMs can excel in handling difficult cases that PLMs struggle with. By strategically selecting examples and optimizing prompt configurations, the LLM's performance on challenging Nepali tweet data was significantly enhanced, leading to a combined improved score when used alongside a PLM.
