Named Entity Recognition: A Literature Survey by Rahul Sharnagat.
Abstract:
In this report, we explore various methods that are applied to solve NER. In section 1, we introduce the named entity problem. In section 2, various named entity recognition methods are discussed in three three broad categories of machine learning paradigm and explore few learning techniques in them. In the first part, we discuss various supervised techniques. Subsequently we move to semi-supervised and unsupervised techniques. In the end we discuss about the method from deep learning to solve NER.
If you are new to the named entity recognition issue or want to pass on an introduction, this may be the paper for you. It covers all the high points with a three page bibliography to get your started in the literature.
