Kannada named entity recognition and classification (nerc) based on multinomial naïve bayes (mnb) classifier
share
Named Entity Recognition and Classification (NERC) is a process of identification of proper nouns in the text and classification of those nouns into certain predefined categories like person name, location, organization, date, and time etc. NERC in Kannada is an essential and challenging task. The aim of this work is to develop a novel model for NERC, based on Multinomial Naïve Bayes (MNB) Classifier. The Methodology adopted in this paper is based on feature extraction of training corpus, by using term frequency, inverse document frequency and fitting them to a tf-idf-vectorizer. The paper discusses the various issues in developing the proposed model. The details of implementation and performance evaluation are discussed. The experiments are conducted on a training corpus of size 95,170 tokens and test corpus of 5,000 tokens. It is observed that the model works with Precision, Recall and F1-measure of 83
