Fancy Man Lauches Zippo at WNUT 2020 Shared Task-1: A Bert Case Model for Wet Lab Entity Extraction

Abstract

Automatic or semi-automatic conversion of protocols specifying steps in performing a lab procedure into machine-readable format benefits biological research a lot. These noisy, dense, and domain-specific lab protocols processing draws more and more interests with the development of deep learning. This paper presents our teamwork on WNUT 2020 shared task-1: wet lab entity extract, that we conducted studies in several models, including a BiLSTM CRF model and a Bert case model which can be used to complete wet lab entity extraction. And we mainly discussed the performance differences of \textbf{Bert case} under different situations such as \emph{transformers} versions, case sensitivity that may don't get enough attention before.
