ArXi:2605.18462v1 Announce Type: new Named entity recognition (NER) has been one of the essential preliminary steps in modern NLP applications. This report focuses on implementing the NER task on finetuning two pretrained models: (i) an encoder-only model (BERT) with a simple classification head, and (ii) a sequence-to-sequence model (T5) with few-shot prompts. Under the original 7-class tag and 3-class simplified tag schemes, BERT is applied a weighted cross-entropy for
