LLMs show promise for recognizing entities in historical texts

Researchers have explored the use of large language models (LLMs) for Named Entity Recognition (NER) in historical texts, a task traditionally requiring extensive annotated data. Utilizing zero-shot and few-shot prompting techniques, the study demonstrated that LLMs can achieve promising performance on historical documents, despite falling short of fully supervised models. This approach offers a viable alternative for information extraction from low-resource historical corpora where traditional methods are impractical. AI
