Multilingual Entity Task (MET): Japanese Results
نویسندگان
چکیده
Japanese was one of the languages selected for evaluation of named entity identification algorithms in the TIPSTER-sponsored Multilingual Entity Task (MET) program. As with the Spanish and Chinese groups (Table 1), Japanese systems automatically marked the names of organizations, people, and places within entity name expressions (ENAMEX), dates and times within time expressions (TIMEX), and percents and money within number expressions (NUMEX). The participant Japanese systems were developed in a fourmonth period of time and output results comparable to the Message Understanding Conference-6 (MUC-6) [1] English language systems with F-Measures between 70 90% [21.
