Method for named-entity recognition and verification

摘要

A method for named-entity (NE) recognition and verification is provided. The method can extract at least one to-be-tested segments from an article according to a text window, and use a predefined grammar to parse the at least one to-be-tested segments to remove ill-formed ones. Then, a statistical verification model is used to calculate the confidence measurement of each to-be-tested segment to determine where the to-be-tested segment has a named-entity or not. If the confidence measurement is less than a predefined threshold, the to-be-tested segment will be rejected. Otherwise, it will be accepted.
