This paper reports our NER/Event Extraction system which participated in 2022 n2c2 Track 1. Fortunately, it was our system that ranked first in some official evaluations.

Our system also ranked fist at the 2019 n2c2 challenge in 2019. It seems that our lab and n2c2 challenges are best match. The first author, a Ph.D. candidate, is brilliant in finding the best solution for each challenge considering the time and computational constraints. We also participated in BioCreative VII and the results were also very satisfactory.
