Generative AI for Named Entity Recognition in Low-Resource Language Nepali
This work addresses the problem of NLP advancement for low-resource languages like Nepali, but it appears incremental as it focuses on evaluating existing methods without introducing new paradigms.
This paper tackled the problem of evaluating generative AI models for Named Entity Recognition in the low-resource language Nepali, finding that various prompting techniques provided insights into challenges and opportunities but without reporting concrete performance numbers.
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), has significantly advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, such as Named Entity Recognition (NER), which involves identifying entities like person, location, and organization names in text. LLMs are especially promising for low-resource languages due to their ability to learn from limited data. However, the performance of GenAI models for Nepali, a low-resource language, has not been thoroughly evaluated. This paper investigates the application of state-of-the-art LLMs for Nepali NER, conducting experiments with various prompting techniques to assess their effectiveness. Our results provide insights into the challenges and opportunities of using LLMs for NER in low-resource settings and offer valuable contributions to the advancement of NLP research in languages like Nepali.
