NERC-fr: Supervised Named Entity Recognition for French
Abstract
Currently there are only few available language resources for French. Additionally there is a lack of available language models for for tasks such as Named Entity Recognition and Classification (NERC) which makes difficult building natural language processing systems for this language. This paper presents a new publicly available supervised Apache OpenNLP NERC model that has been trained and tested under a maximum entropy approach. This new model achieves state of the art results for French when compared with another systems. Finally we have also extended Apache OpenNLP libraries to support part-of-speech feature extraction component which has been used for our experiments.
