This article describes the OPDAI submission to SemEval-2022 Task 11 on Chinese complex NER.First, we explore the performance of model-based approaches and their ensemble, finding that fine-tuning the pre-trained Chinese RoBERTa-wwm model with word semantic representation and contextual gazetteer representation performs best among single models.However, the model-based approach performs poorly on test data because of low-context and unseen-entity cases.Then, we extend our system into two stages: (1) generating entity candidates by using neural model, soft-templates and Wikipedia lexicon.(2) predicting the final entity results within a feature-based rank model.For the evaluation, our best submission achieves an F 1 score of 0.7954 and attains the third-best score in the Chinese sub-track.
