Named entity recognition with Stanford CoreNLP for English

Named entity recognition (NER) enables the detection of named entities (e.g. personal names, organizations, geographical locations) in the text. Stanford CoreNLP annotates tokens with named entity types such as PERSON, DATE, CITY, etc. Please note that unlike other named entity taggers used in Sparv, Stanford CoreNLP does not add structural annotations for multi-word named entities.

Example

This analysis is used with Sparv. Check out Sparv's quick start guide to get started!

To use this analysis, add the following line under export.annotations in the Sparv corpus configuration file:

- <token>:stanford.ne_type  # Named entitiy types from Stanford Parser

In order to use this annotation you need to add the following setting to your Sparv corpus configuration file:

metadata:
  language: eng

For more info on how to use Sparv, check out the Sparv documentation.
