Bootstrapping a Romanian Corpus for Medical Named Entity Recognition
نویسنده
چکیده
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is an important component of natural language processing (NLP), with applicability in the biomedical domain, enabling knowledge discovery from medical texts. Due to the fact that for the Romanian language there are only a few linguistic resources specific to the biomedical domain, we have created a sub-corpus specific to this domain. In this paper we present a newly developed Romanian sub-corpus for medical domain NER, which is a valuable asset for the field of biomedical text processing. We provide a description of the sub-corpus, statistics about data-composition and we evaluate an automatic NER tool on the newly created resource.

Named entity recognition (NER) is a natural language processing (NLP) problem that is mainly used for text summarization, data mining, data retrieval, question and answering, machine translation, and document classification systems. A NER system is tasked with determining the border of each named entity, recognizing its type and classifying it into predefined categories. The categories of named...

The goal in the named entity recognition task is to classify proper nouns of a piece of text into classes such as person, location, and organization. Named entity recognition is an important preprocessing step in many natural language processing tasks such as question-answering and summarization. Although many research studies have been conducted in this area in English and the state-of-the-art...

متن کاملTrained Named Entity Recognition using Distributional Clusters
This work applies boosted wrapper induction (BWI), a machine learning algorithm for information extraction from semi-structured documents, to the problem of named entity recognition. The default feature set of BWI is augmented with features based on distributional term clusters induced from a large unlabeled text corpus. Using no traditional linguistic resources, such as syntactic tags or speci...
متن کاملCross-Domain Bootstrapping for Named Entity Recognition
We propose a general cross-domain bootstrapping algorithm for domain adaptation in the task of named entity recognition. We first generalize the lexical features of the source domain model with word clusters generated from a joint corpus. We then select target domain instances based on multiple criteria during the bootstrapping process. Without using annotated data from the target domain and wi...
