We present an empirical study on methods for span finding, the selection of consecutive
tokens in text for some downstream tasks. We focus on approaches that can be employed in
training end-to-end information extraction systems, and find there is no definitive solution
without considering task properties, and provide our observations to help with future design
choices: 1) a tagging approach often yields higher precision while span enumeration and
boundary prediction provide higher recall; 2) span type information can benefit a boundary …
