Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for discovering bad cases in Named Entity Recognition (NER) systems are labor-intensive and inefficient, relying on manual operations and random sampling, which results in a low discovery rate and affects subsequent optimization and updates.

Innovation Solution

An AI-based method that performs named entity recognition, calculates confidence levels and probability values for character combinations, and determines bad cases using a trained probability value evaluating model, reducing manual effort and improving processing efficiency.
