The gap separates two different news stories. 26 We trained our model using the annotated training data from the MUC 7 Named Entity Task, but we identified only a subset of the types participants in the MUC competition were expected to label [Chinchor, 1997]. Our subset did not contain some of the simpler types which could be identified using regular expressions, including monetary amounts, such as 1,000.00) percentages, e.g. 15 ) and dates (e.g. May 23, 1972) The maximum entropy model predicts the most likely label person, place, company or ....

Figure 3.11 shows the same transcript as the previous figure, but this time only coreference links involving proper names are indicated. We can identify coreference links involving proper names, so called Named Entities [Chinchor, 1997], using the statistical model we built to identify proper nouns which occur within dynamic cue phrases. We do not attempt to resolve pronouns, but instead identify only references involving names and portions of names. For instance, we would identify 41 Figure 3.10: Example transcript indicating ....

MUC structures the Named Entity Task and distinguishes three types of named entity: ENAMEX, TIMEX and NUMEX [3]. TIMEX contains time expressions and NUMEX contains numbers and percentages. We are only interested in the ENAMEX entities composed of proper names. ENAMEX is limited to proper names and acronyms categorized as follows: Organization: named corporate, governmental or other organizational ....

NER is evaluated as a separate task at the international evaluation conferences for IE (Message Understanding Conferences MUC [4]) NER is not only an important subtask in IE [8] but also in lexical acquisition for the development of robust natural language processing systems [5] Moreover NER may prove fruitful for tasks such as indexing of documents and maintenance of data bases containing information for the identified ....

The guidelines followed for their tagging are similar to the ones used at the Named Entity evaluation task at MUC 7 [4]. System performance has been measured using Precision, Recall and F measure. Recall measures the number of items of a certain named entity type correctly identified, divided by the total number of items of this type. Precision is the ratio of the number of items of a certain named entity type ....

Manual NE annotations were provided by MITRE and BBN (through NIST) and they conformed with the Hub4E IE NE task specification [4] Automatic annotations were achieved using the LaSIE II system [5] Since LaSIE II was developed according to the MUC7 NE task specification [6], relative time expressions were also marked for the BN and NA News corpora, conflicting with the Hub 4E specification. These three sources were prepared for LM production. First, we assumed that transcripts of BN acoustic training data were the closest fit to the task domain for Hub 4E ....
