Introduction to the CoNLL-2003 shared task: language-independent named entity recognition

Published:31 May 2003Publication History

ABSTRACT

We describe the CoNLL-2003 shared task: language-independent named entity recognition. We give background information on the data sets (English and German) and the evaluation method, present a general overview of the systems that have taken part in the task and discuss their performance.
