Named Entity Extraction using AdaBoost
Xavier Carreras, Lluı́s Màrquez, Lluís Padró · 2002
This paper presents a Named Entity Extraction (NEE) system for the CoNLL 2002 competition. The two main sub-tasks of the problem, recognition (NER) and classification (NEC), are performed sequentially and independently with separate modules. Both modules are machine learning based systems, which make use of binary AdaBoost classifiers.
