Multilingual Named Entity Recognition using Parallel Data and Metadata from Wikipedia
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a method to automatically label multi-lingual data with named entity tags. We build on prior work utilizing Wikipedia metadata and show how to effectively combine the weak annotations stemming from Wikipedia metadata with information obtained through English-foreign language parallel Wikipedia sentences. The combination is achieved using a novel semi-CRF model for foreign sentence tagging in the context of a parallel English sentence. The model outperforms both standard annotation projection methods and methods based solely on Wikipedia metadata.

Named entity recognition is a process in which the people’s names, name of places (cities, countries, seas, etc.) and organizations (public and private companies, international institutions, etc.), date, currency and percentages in a text are identified. Named entity recognition plays an important role in many NLP tasks such as semantic role labeling, question answering, summarization, machine ...

Named entities recognition is a fundamental task in the field of natural language processing. It is also known as a subset of information extraction. The process of recognizing named entities aims at finding proper nouns in the text and classifying them into predetermined classes such as names of people, organizations, and places. In this paper, we propose a named entity recognizer which benefi...

The increasing diversity of languages used on the web introduces a new level of complexity to Information Retrieval (IR) systems. We can no longer assume that textual content is written in one language or even the same language family. In this paper, we demonstrate how to build massive multilingual annotators with minimal human expertise and intervention. We describe a system that builds Named ...
متن کاملMultilingual Named-Entity Recognition from Parallel Corpora
We present a named-entity recognition (NER) system for parallel multilingual text. Our system handles three languages (i.e., English, French, and Spanish) and is tailored to the biomedical domain. For each language, we design a supervised knowledge-based CRF model with rich biomedical and general domain information. We use the sentence alignment of the parallel corpora, the word alignment gener...

Availability of labeled language resources, such as annotated corpora and domain dependent labeled language resources is crucial for experiments in the field of Natural Language Processing. Most often, due to lack of resources, manual verification and annotation of electronic text material is a prerequisite for the development of NLP tools. In the context of under-resourced language, the lack o...
