Named entity recognition is one of the significant textual information extraction tasks. In this paper, we present two approaches for named entity recognition on Turkish texts. The first is a Bayesian learning approach which is trained on a considerably limited training set. The second approach comprises two hybrid systems based on joint utilization of this Bayesian learning approach and a previously proposed rule-based named entity recognizer. All of the proposed three approaches achieve promising performance rates. This paper is significant as it reports the first use of the Bayesian approach for the task of named entity recognition on Turkish texts for which especially practical approaches are still insufficient.

Financial named entity recognition for Turkish news texts

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a problem of information extraction where the objective is; in a given text, to detect and label named entities (NE) according to predetermined categories correctly. An NE may be a noun or a group of nouns which correspond to the name of a specific object, location or a concept in case of domain-specific applications. In the literature, person, organization, location names or date,time, money, percentage expressions are among highly studied, generic NEs. Besides, there are ...
Named Entity Recognition with Conditional Random Fields on Turkish News Dataset: Revisiting the Features
Çekinel, Recep Fırat; Karagöz, Pınar (2019-04-24)
Named entity recognition is a natural language processing problem that aims to mark entity names, such as person, place, organization, date, time, money and percentage, from different types of text. Various applications such as location estimation, event time estimation, determination of important people in the text can be possible with the solutions to this problem. The number of named entity recognition studies on Turkish texts is quite limited compared to those on English. In this study, the use of the t...
A hybrid named entity recognizer for Turkish
Kucuk, Dilek; Yazıcı, Adnan (2012-02-15)
Named entity recognition is an important subfield of the broader research area of information extraction from textual data. Yet, named entity recognition research conducted on Turkish texts is still rare as compared to related research carried out on other languages such as English, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese. In this study, we present a hybrid named entity recognizer for Turkish, which is based on a manually engineered rule based recognizer that we have proposed. Since rule based systems for specific d...
Named entity recognition experiments on Turkish texts
Küçük, Dilek; Yazıcı, Adnan (2009-10-28)
Named entity recognition (NER) is one of the main information extraction tasks and research on NER from Turkish texts is known to be rare. In this study, we present a rule-based NER system for Turkish which employs a set of lexical resources and pattern bases for the extraction of named entities including the names of people, locations, organizations together with time/date and money/percentage expressions. The domain of the system is news texts and it does not utilize important clues of capitalization and ...
Person name recognition in turkish financial texts by using local grammar approach
Bayraktar, Özkan; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Department of Information Systems (2007)
Named entity recognition (NER) is the task of identifying the named entities (NEs) in the texts and classifying them into semantic categories such as person, organization, and place names and time, date, monetary, and percent expressions. NER has two principal aims: identification of NEs and classification of them into semantic categories. The local grammar (LG) approach has recently been shown to be superior to other NER techniques such as the probabilistic approach, the symbolic approach, and the hybrid a...
