Abstract: Systems, methods, and other techniques for extracting data from obituaries are provided. In some embodiments, an obituary containing a plurality of words is received. Using a machine learning model, an entity tag from a set of entity tags may be assigned to each of one or more words of the plurality of words. Each particular tag from the set of entity tags may include a relationship component and a category component. The relationship component may indicate a relationship between a particular word and the deceased individual. The category component may indicate a categorization of the particular word to a particular category from a set of categories. The extracted data may be stored in a genealogical database.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and other techniques for training a machine learning (ML) model to jointly perform named entity recognition (NER) and relation extraction (RE) on an input text. A set of hyperparameters for the ML model are set to a first set of values. The ML model is trained using a training dataset and is evaluated to produce a first result. The set of hyperparameters are modified from the first set of values to a second set of values. The ML model is trained using the training dataset and is evaluated to produce a second result. Either the first set of values or the second set of values are selected and used for the set of hyperparameters for the ML model based on a comparison between the first result and the second result.
