NERCat: Fine-Tuning for Enhanced Named Entity Recognition in Catalan
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a critical component of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for extracting structured information from unstructured text. However, for low-resource languages like Catalan, the performance of NER systems often suffers due to the lack of high-quality annotated datasets. This paper introduces NERCat, a fine-tuned version of the GLiNER[1] model, designed to improve NER performance specifically for Catalan text. We used a dataset of manually annotated Catalan television transcriptions to train and fine-tune the model, focusing on domains such as politics, sports, and culture. The evaluation results show significant improvements in precision, recall, and F1-score, particularly for underrepresented named entity categories such as Law, Product, and Facility. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of domain-specific fine-tuning in low-resource languages and highlights the potential for enhancing Catalan NLP applications through manual annotation and high-quality datasets.

Assessment of Generative Named Entity Recognition in the Era of Large Language Models
Named entity recognition (NER) is evolving from a sequence labeling task into a generative paradigm with the rise of large language models (LLMs). We conduct a systematic evaluation of open-source LLMs on both flat and n…
