Title
Unsupervised named entity recognition using syntactic and semantic contextual evidence
Abstract
Proper nouns form an open class, making the incompleteness of manually or automatically learned classification rules an obvious problem. The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to suggest the use of a complementary "backup" method to increase the robustness of any hand-crafted or machine-learning-based NE tagger; and second, to explore the effectiveness of using more fine-grained evidence--namely, syntactic and semantic contextual knowledge---in classifying NEs.
