Comparison of named entity recognition tools for raw OCR text
نویسندگان
چکیده
This short paper analyses an experiment comparing the efficacy of several Named Entity Recognition (NER) tools at extracting entities directly from the output of an optical character recognition (OCR) workflow. The authors present how they first created a set of test data, consisting of raw and corrected OCR output manually annotated with people, locations, and organizations. They then ran each of the NER tools against both raw and corrected OCR output, comparing the precision, recall, and F1 score against the manually annotated data.

Named Entity Recognition for Digitised Historical Texts
We describe and evaluate a prototype system for recognising person and place names in digitised records of British parliamentary proceedings from the late 17th and early 19th centuries. The output of an OCR engine is the input for our system and we describe certain issues and errors in this data and discuss the methods we have used to overcome the problems. We describe our rule-based named enti...

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...

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...
