Leveraging Existing Tools for Named Entity Recognition in Microposts

چکیده
With the increasing popularity of microblogging services, new research challenges arise in the area of text processing. In this paper, we hypothesize that already existing services for Named Entity Recognition (NER), or a combination thereof, perform well on microposts, despite the fact that these NER services have been developed for processing long-form text documents that are well-structured and well-spelled. We test our hypothesis by applying four already existing NER services to the set of microposts of the MSM2013 IE Challenge.

Combining Named Entity Recognition Methods for Concept Extraction in Microposts
NER in microposts is a key and challenging task of mining semantics from social media. Our evaluation of a number of popular NE recognizers over a micropost dataset has shown a significant drop-off in results quality. Current state-of-theart NER methods perform much better on formal text than on microposts. However, the experiment provided us with an interesting observation – although individua...
متن کاملFeature Based Approach to Named Entity Recognition and Linking for Tweets
In this paper, we describe our approach for Named Entity rEcognition and Linking Challenge (NEEL) at the #Microposts2016. The task is to automatically recognize entities and their types from English microposts, and link them to corresponding DBpedia 2015 entries. If the resources do not exist, we use NIL identifiers instead. The task is unique as twitter data is informal in nature with non-conf...
متن کاملNamed Entity Recognition in 140 Characters or Less
In this paper, we explore the problem of recognizing named entities in microposts, a genre with notoriously little context surrounding each named entity and inconsistent use of grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling conventions by authors. In spite of the challenges associated with information extraction from microposts, it remains an increasingly important genre. This paper present...
متن کاملUniMiB: Entity Linking in Tweets using Jaro-Winkler Distance, Popularity and Coherence
This paper summarizes the participation of UNIMIB team in the Named Entity rEcognition and Linking (NEEL) Challenge in #Microposts2016. In this paper, we propose a knowledge-base approach for identifying and linking named entities from tweets. The named entities are, further, classified using evidence provided by our entity linking algorithm and type-casted into Microposts categories.
متن کاملAdapting AIDA for Tweets
This paper presents our system for the “Making Sense of Microposts 2014 (#Microposts2014)” challenge. Our system is based on AIDA, an existing system that links entity mentions in natural language text to their corresponding canonical entities in a knowledge base (KB). AIDA collectively exploits the prominence of entities, contextual similarities, and coherence to effectively disambiguate entit...
