Dissertation Abstract:
The goal of the
research project was to prove that the magnitude of the increase in recall and
precision of named entity recognition justifies a separate and language specific
treatment of each kind of entity in every domain. The hypotheses that by using Local
Grammars, the NER task can be solved with the additional side benefit of gaining
further information about the named entity from its context, was to either be
corroborated or disproved. The domain and language that was focused on are online
business news written in English.
