Research questionHow can NER systems decide when external retrieval helps long-tail entities without adding noise or cost?NER models often lack knowledge of long-tail and domain-specific entities. Retrieving external information for every mention can add irrelevant context and unnecessary expense when the model already recognizes the entity.
