ABSTRACT
In this paper, we describe a system that recognises place names in natural language text and produces geographic maps and animations showing the geographical coverage of texts about a certain subject as it changes over time. As the system is built to analyse texts in many different languages, it restricts the usage of linguistic analysis tools to the minimum. Instead, it relies on a gazetteer containing place names in different languages and uses heuristics for disambiguation purposes.

Named entity recognition and resolution in legal text
Semantic Processing of Legal TextsNamed entities in text are persons, places, companies, etc. that are explicitly mentioned in text using proper nouns. The process of finding named entities in a text and classifying them to a semantic type, is called named entity recognition. Resolution ...
Automatic Extraction of Nested Entities in Clinical Referrals in Spanish
Here we describe a new clinical corpus rich in nested entities and a series of neural models to identify them. The corpus comprises de-identified referrals from the waiting list in Chilean public hospitals. A subset of 5,000 referrals (58.6% medical and ...
Named Entity Recognition Experiments on Turkish Texts
FQAS '09: Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Flexible Query Answering SystemsNamed entity recognition (NER) is one of the main information extraction tasks and research on NER from Turkish texts is known to be rare. In this study, we present a rule-based NER system for Turkish which employs a set of lexical resources and pattern ...
