Rodrigo Agerri (IXA Taldea, EHU): "Word Representations for Multilingual Named Entity Recognition"

Thursday, March 5th, 2020.

3:00 pm.

Venue: Carlos Santamaria Zentroa, Room A3.

Abstract:

After a brief introduction of Information Extraction in Natural Language Processing (NLP), in this talk we will provide an overview of the most important methods to represent words in NLP and their use for the Named Entity Recognition (NER) task (extracting proper names automatically from written text). Furthermore, we will discuss the relation between corpus-based approaches to NER and their characterization of language use. We will also discuss the current situation and future challenges of NLP for the Basque language.
