Neural Models for Sequence Chunking

1 code implementation15 Jan 2017 Feifei Zhai, Saloni Potdar, Bing Xiang, Bo-Wen Zhou

Many natural language understanding (NLU) tasks, such as shallow parsing (i. e., text chunking) and semantic slot filling, require the assignment of representative labels to the meaningful chunks in a sentence.
