Abstract
The complexity and depth of Information Extraction becomes increasingly apparent as time goes on. Heuristics, shocastic and more recently, neural models have proved challenging to scale into and out of various domains. In this paper we discuss the limitations of current approaches and explore if transferring human knowledge into a neural language model could improve performance in an deep learning setting. We approach this by constructing gazetteers from existing public resources. We demonstrate that leveraging existing knowledge we can increase performance and train such networks faster. We argue a case for further research into leveraging pre-existing domain knowledge and engineering resources to train neural models.
