Named entity recognition for Ukrainian
Sophia Katrenko, Pieter Adriaans · 2007
Named entity recognition (NER) is a subtask of information extraction (IE) which can be used further on for different purposes.In this paper, we discuss named entity recognition for Ukrainian language, which is a Slavonic language with a rich morphology.The approach we follow uses a restricted number of features.We show that it is feasible to boost performance by considering several heuristics and patterns acquired from the Web data.
