Named entity recognition for Chinese microblog with convolutional neural network
Liang Zhang, Huan Zhao · 2017
Named Entity Recognition (NER) has usually focused on traditional formal text. we consider the task of NER on microblog text. In this paper, we propose a Convolutional Neural Network for NER in Chinese microblog text. Instead of traditional machine learning needing man-made input features carefully optimized for NER task, our system learns the words feature by itself. Our network uses a sliding window of word context to predict tags. Experimental results show that our model achieved 80% accuracy on this task.
