Exploiting Wikipedia as External Knowledge for Named Entity Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore the use of Wikipedia as external knowledge to improve named entity recognition (NER). Our method retrieves the corresponding Wikipedia entry for each candidate word sequence and extracts a category label from the first sentence of the entry, which can be thought of as a definition part. These category labels are used as features in a CRF-based NE tagger. We demonstrate using the CoNLL 2003 dataset that the Wikipedia category labels extracted by such a simple method actually improve the accuracy of NER.

متن کاملNamed Entity Recognition in Persian Text using Deep Learning
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...
متن کاملUNIBA: Exploiting a Distributional Semantic Model for Disambiguating and Linking Entities in Tweets
This paper describes the participation of the UNIBA team in the Named Entity rEcognition and Linking (NEEL) Challenge. We propose a knowledge-based algorithm able to recognize and link named entities in English tweets. The approach combines the simple Lesk algorithm with information coming from both a distributional semantic model and usage frequency of Wikipedia concepts. The algorithm perform...
متن کاملEAGER: Extending Automatically Gazetteers for Entity Recognition
Key to named entity recognition, the manual gazetteering of entity lists is a costly, errorprone process that often yields results that are incomplete and suffer from sampling bias. Exploiting current sources of structured information, we propose a novel method for extending minimal seed lists into complete gazetteers. Like previous approaches, we value WIKIPEDIA as a huge, well-curated, and re...
