There is currently few research in using deep learning (DL) applied to Named Entities Recognition (NER) in Portuguese texts. This work exposes some challenges and limitations but also the benefits of applying DL architectures to NER in Portuguese. Four different DL architectures are applied to Portuguese datasets. All architectures are heavily influenced by previous published work in NER applied to English. Annotated data is used to train and test NER models, while non-annotated data is used to train word embeddings, as well as being a key part of a bootstrapping approach, where raw textual data is used to create NER models.
