PROBLEM

WHAT IS NER?
 Sub-domain under NLP (Natural Language
Processing)
 A part of IE (Information Extraction)
 Automatic identification and counting of
occurrences of named entities in a collection of
information.
 Associating the named entities to their
appropriate types

BUT WHAT BASICALLY IS A NAMED ENTITY?
o Word or Phrase that identifies one
item from a set of items that have
similar attributes
o Semantic elements that carry a
meaning
Named Entities with their labels are recognized as follows:
• ENAMEX : Person(Tim Cook) , Organization (Apple , Flint Center),
Location(Cupertino)
• TIMEX : Date , Time
• NUMEX : Money , Percentage , Quantity
o Named Entities are either dependent on the Proper Names tagging or on the Part Of
Speech (POS ) tagging.

TYPES OF NAMED ENTITIES
GENERIC NE:
Includes names of persons , organizations,
etc.
For Example, any general requirement
consisting of names of persons, organization
, URLs, Location and so on.
DOMAIN SPECIFIC NE:
Consists of entities related to domains
For example,
In a medical domain, names of diseases ,
names of medicines form the entities
whereas
In a manufacturing domain names of
products , manufacturers , attributes of
products form the named entities.

INPUT AND OUTPUT OF NER
{"document":"Jim went
to Stanford University,
Tom went to the
University of Washington.
They both work for
Microsoft."}
[ [ [ "Jim", "PERSON" ],
[ "Stanford",
"ORGANIZATION" ],
[ "University",
"ORGANIZATION" ],
[ "Tom", "PERSON" ],
[ "University",
"ORGANIZATION" ],
[ "of", "ORGANIZATION" ],
[ "Washington",
"ORGANIZATION" ] ],
[ [ "Microsoft",
"ORGANIZATION" ] ] ]

 LIST LOOK UP FEATURES
• General Dictionary
• Words that are of Typical Organization Names
• On the List Look Up Techniques
 DOCUMENT AND CORPUS FEATURES
• Multiple Occurrences and Multiple Casing

CONDITONAL RANDOM FIELD MODEL
o It is a machine learning algorithm
o Uses statistics and prediction
o Evaluates the complete sequence of input data as one instance
o It uses the states and transitions features
o The input sequence decides the state to which the transition will be made

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF CRF
ADVANTAGE:
• Does everything by its own
• No need to provide any set data set(label bias problem avoided)
• Evaluation is done based on POS tagging
• Due to the conditional nature, independent assumptions can be evaluated
• Heavily used in real time applications
