Subject: Named entity tagging data
To: corpora_AT_uib.no

Try to use the linguistic platform NooJ (cf. www.nooj4nlp.net). 

  I'm working with NooJ to identify and tag named entitties by means of
local grammars (finite state transducers) in French, English and Arabic.

Amanda Stent <stent_AT_cs.sunysb.edu> a écrit :  We have been looking for a
high-performing named entity tagger, but can't
find any that work well enough for our purposes or quickly enough (we are
batch processing lots and lots of data per day). Can someone recommend
one to us? The data we are processing is news data. We have tried
Lingpipe, GATE and OpenNLP and all have speed issues.

Thanks!

Dear Corpora members, could you send me the reading rule of Wolof, an
African language? How are the double consonsnts read? E.g. dd, pp, kk, nn,
ll, etc. Are these long consonants? How are the double vowels read? E.g. aa,
oo, ee, ii? Are they just long vowels? How e" is read? Is X equal to H? Is C
= ts? Is j like English j? Is W sonorant? Ci=tsi? Looking forward to hearing
to my correct address, which is yutamb_AT_mail.ru  Yours sincerely Yuri
Tambovtsev, Novosibirsk, Russia

Hi,
I am looking to do unsupervised named entities (protein,gene,cell-type)
tagging in the biomedical domain. Can someone suggest me the tool or
relative material to have a look.
Thanks.

Dear Naveed Afzal,

you can find a list of NLP tools for the biomedical domain
at the BioCreative II page, including named entity tagging tools.

http://biocreative.sourceforge.net/bionlp_tools_links.html

Some of them are only available online, others you can also
download and use locally (Abner, Abgene). 

Best regards,

Martin Krallinger
