In this study, an agricultural question-answering information extraction method based on the IM-BILSTM (Improved Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory) algorithm is designed. Firstly, it uses Python's Scrapy crawler framework to obtain the imformation of soil types, crop diseases and pests, and agricultural trade information, and remove abnormal values. Secondly, the information extraction converts the semi-structured data by using entity extraction methods. Thirdly, the BERT(Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) algorithm is introduced to improve the performance of the BILSTM algorithm. After comparing with the BERT-CRF(Conditional Random Field) and BILSTM algorithm, the result shows that the IM-BILSTM algorithm has better information extraction performance than the other two algorithms. This study improves the accuracy of the agricultural information recommendation system from the perspective of information extraction. Compared with other work that is done from the perspective of recommendation algorithm optimization, it is more innovative; it helps to understand the semantics and contextual relationships in agricultural question and answer, so as to Improve the accuracy of agricultural information recommendation systems. By gaining a deeper understanding of farmers' needs and interests, the system can better recommend relevant and practical information.
