Imbalanced Data Clustering via Targeted Data Augmentation Using GMM and LLM

In Natural Language Processing (NLP), dealing with underrepresented topics is challenging, especially in unsupervised tasks where clustering might not adequately capture minority topics. To tackle this challenge, our paper presents a novel unsupervised data augmentation method that integrates Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs). Due to their flexibility and robustness, GMMs can detect clusters corresponding to underrepresented areas in the data, while LLMs create synthetic documents to enrich these clusters and improve their representation. Experiments on various imbalanced text datasets demonstrate that our approach preserves clustering performance in all cases and often enhances cluster interpretability, offering a robust and scalable solution for improving data representation in unsupervised NLP tasks.

Recent Advances in Named Entity Recognition: A Comprehensive Survey and Comparative Study

Named Entity Recognition seeks to extract substrings within a text that name real-world objects and to determine their type (for example, whether they refer to persons or organizations). In this survey, we first present an overview of recent popular approaches, including advancements in Transformer-based methods and Large Language Models (LLMs) that have not had much coverage in other surveys. In addition, we discuss reinforcement learning and graph-based approaches, highlighting their role in enhancing NER performance. Second, we focus on methods designed for datasets with scarce annotations. Third, we evaluate the performance of the main NER implementations on a variety of datasets with differing characteristics (as regards their domain, their size, and their number of classes). We thus provide a deep comparison of algorithms that have never been considered together. Our experiments shed some light on how the characteristics of datasets affect the behavior of the methods we compare.

Graph-Convolutional Networks: Named Entity Recognition and Large Language Model Embedding in Document Clustering

Recent advances in machine learning, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) such as BERT and GPT, provide rich contextual embeddings that improve text representation. However, current document clustering approaches often ignore the deeper relationships between named entities (NEs) and the potential of LLM embeddings. This paper proposes a novel approach that integrates Named Entity Recognition (NER) and LLM embeddings within a graph-based framework for document clustering. The method builds a graph with nodes representing documents and edges weighted by named entity similarity, optimized using a graph-convolutional network (GCN). This ensures a more effective grouping of semantically related documents. Experimental results indicate that our approach outperforms conventional co-occurrence-based methods in clustering, notably for documents rich in named entities.
