Malaysian English News Decoded: A Linguistic Resource for Named Entity and Relation Extraction

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2402.14521v2 Announce Type: replace Standard English and Malaysian English exhibit notable differences, posing challenges for natural language processing (NLP) tasks on Malaysian English. Unfortunately, most of the existing datasets are mainly based on standard English and therefore inadequate for improving NLP tasks in Malaysian English. An experiment using state-of-the-art Named Entity Recognition (NER) solutions on Malaysian English news articles highlights that they cannot handle morphosyntactic variations in Malaysian English.
