NameTag
NameTag is an open-source tool for named entity recognition (NER). NameTag identifies proper names in text and classifies them into predefined categories, such as names of persons, locations, organizations, etc.
For Czech, it recognizes a complex hierarchy of categories. The English model, which is trained on CoNLL-2003 NER annotations (Sang and De Meulder 2003), distinguishes the following four NER classes: person, organisation, location and miscellaneous.
The trained model for Czech is available for through LINDAT: Czech Models (CNEC) for NameTag. A user manual is also available.
The SSH Open Marketplace is maintained and will be further developed by three European Research Infrastructures - DARIAH, CLARIN and CESSDA - and their national partners. It was developed as part of the "Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud" SSHOC project, European Union's Horizon 2020 project call H2020-INFRAEOSC-04-2018, grant agreement #823782.
