Arabic Named Entity Recognition Process using Transducer Cascade and Arabic Wikipedia
Résumé
Transducers namely transducer cascades are used in several NLP-applications such as Ara-bic named entity recognition (ANER). To ex-periment and evaluate an ANER process, a weight coverage corpus is necessary. In this pa-per, we propose an ANER method based on transducer cascade. The proposed transducer cascade is generated with the CasSys tool inte-grated in Unitex linguistic platform. The exper-imentation of our method is done on a Wikipe-dia corpus. The Wikipedia text format is ob-tained with Kiwix tool. The experiment results are satisfactory.
