Named Entity Recognition in Estonian
نویسندگان
چکیده
The task of Named Entity Recognition (NER) is to identify in text predefined units of information such as person names, organizations and locations. In this work, we address the problem of NER in Estonian using supervised learning approach. We explore common issues related to building a NER system such as the usage of language-agnostic and languagespecific features, the representation of named entity tags, the required corpus size and the need for linguistic tools. For system training and evaluation purposes, we create a gold standard NER corpus. On this corpus, our CRF-based system achieves an overall F1-score of 87%.

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 کاملEstNLTK - NLP Toolkit for Estonian
Although there are many tools for natural language processing tasks in Estonian, these tools are very loosely interoperable, and it is not easy to build practical applications on top of them. In this paper, we introduce a new Python library for natural language processing in Estonian, which provides a unified programming interface for various NLP components. The ESTNLTK toolkit provides utiliti...
