Abstract
Named Entity recognition (NER) is a subtask of information extraction and information retrieval that automatically identify proper nouns in texts and classify into predefined categories of name types. This paper introduces the effort on identification and classification of Named Entities in written Myanmar scripts in a statistical way. A statistical approach for NER of Myanmar Language using one of the supervised machine learning approaches called Conditional Random Fields (CRF) has been proposed for this task.
