A Resource-Based Method for Named Entity Extraction and Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a resource-based Named Entity Classification (NEC) system, which combines named entity extraction with simple language-independent heuristics. Large lists (gazetteers) of named entities are automatically extracted making use of semi-structured information from the Wikipedia, namely infoboxes and category trees. Languageindependent heuristics are used to disambiguate and classify entities that have been already identified (or recognized) in text. We compare the performance of our resource-based system with that of a supervised NEC module implemented for the FreeLing suite, which was the winner system in CoNLL-2002 competition. Experiments were performed over Portuguese text corpora taking into account several domains and genres.

Named Entity Recognition is an information extraction technique that identifies name entities in a text. Three popular methods have been conventionally used namely: rule-based, machine-learning-based and hybrid of them to extract named entities from a text. Machine-learning-based methods have good performance in the Persian language if they are trained with good features. To get good performanc...

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...
