Soft-constrained inference for Named Entity Recognition

作者:

Highlights:

• Named Entity Recognition is addressed by constraining inference in CRF.

• An two phases integer linear programming approach is proposed.

• Complex relationships among labels are automatically extracted from data.

• Extracted relationships are introduced as soft constraints in the ILP formulation.

• The proposed method significantly outperforms the state of the art approach.
