FewTopNER: Integrating Few-Shot Learning with Topic Modeling and Named Entity Recognition in a Multilingual Framework
We introduce FewTopNER, a novel framework that integrates few-shot named entity recognition (NER) with topic-aware contextual modeling to address the challenges of cross-lingual and low-resource scenarios. FewTopNER leverages a shared multilingual encoder based on XLM-RoBERTa, augmented with language-specific calibration mechanisms, to generate robust contextual embeddings. The architecture comprises a prototype-based entity recognition branch, employing BiLSTM and Conditional Random Fields for sequence labeling, and a topic modeling branch that extracts document-level semantic features through hybrid probabilistic and neural methods. A cross-task bridge facilitates dynamic bidirectional attention and feature fusion between entity and topic representations, thereby enhancing entity disambiguation by incorporating global semantic context. Empirical evaluations on multilingual benchmarks across English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian demonstrate that FewTopNER significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art few-shot NER models. In particular, the framework achieves improvements of 2.5-4.0 percentage points in F1 score and exhibits enhanced topic coherence, as measured by normalized pointwise mutual information. Ablation studies further confirm the critical contributions of the shared encoder and cross-task integration mechanisms to the overall performance. These results underscore the efficacy of incorporating topic-aware context into few-shot NER and highlight the potential of FewTopNER for robust cross-lingual applications in low-resource settings.
