Geological reports are a significant accomplishment for geologists involved in geological investigations and scientific research as they contain rich data and textual information. With the rapid development of science and technology, a large number of textual reports have accumulated in the field of geology. However, many non-hot topics and non-English speaking regions are neglected in mainstream geoscience databases for geological information mining, making it more challenging for some researchers to extract necessary information from these texts. Natural Language Processing (NLP) has obvious advantages in processing large amounts of textual data. The objective of this paper is to identify geological named entities from Chinese geological texts using NLP techniques. We propose the RoBERTa-Prompt-Tuning-NER method, which leverages the concept of Prompt Learning and requires only a small amount of annotated data to train superior models for recognizing geological named entities in low-resource dataset configurations. The RoBERTa layer captures context-based information and longer-distance dependencies through dynamic word vectors. Finally, we conducted experiments on the constructed Geological Named Entity Recognition (GNER) dataset. Our experimental results show that the proposed model achieves the highest F1 score of 80.64% among the four baseline algorithms, demonstrating the reliability and robustness of using the model for Named Entity Recognition of geological texts.
