Abstract:
Chemical Named Entity Recognition (NER) forms the basis of information extraction tasks in the chemical domain. However, while such tasks can involve multiple domains of chemistry at the same time, currently available named entity recognizers are specialized in one part of chemistry, resulting in such workflows failing for a biased subset of mentions. This paper presents a single model that performs at close to the state-of-the-art for both organic (CHEMDNER, 89.7 F1 score) and inorganic (Matscholar, 88.0 F1 score) NER tasks at the same time. Our NER system utilizing the Bert architecture is available as part of ChemDataExtractor 2.1, along with the data sets and scripts used to train the model.

Chemical Shift: Internal References and Solvent Effects
The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...
