Arabic Named Entity Recognition Process using Transducer Cascade and Arabic Wikipedia

摘要

Transducers namely transducer cascades are used in several NLP-applications such as Arabic named entity recognition (ANER). To experiment and evaluate an ANER process, a weight coverage corpus is necessary. In this paper, we propose an ANER method based on transducer cascade. The proposed transducer cascade is generated with the CasSys tool integrated in Unitex linguistic platform. The experimentation of our method is done on a Wikipedia corpus. The Wikipedia text format is obtained with Kiwix tool. The experiment results are satisfactory based on calculated measures.
