State-of-the-art named entity recognition with residual LSTM and ELMo

Depends on the Definition

This is the sixth post in my series about named entity recognition. This time I’m going to show you some cutting edge stuff. We will use a residual LSTM network together with ELMo embeddings, developed at Allen NLP. You will learn how to wrap a tensorflow hub pre-trained model to work with keras. The resulting model with give you state-of-the-art performance on the named entity recognition task.
