TLDR
The study and observations related to approaches, techniques and features required to implement NER for various languages especially for Indian languages is reported.
Abstract
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is sub task of Information Extraction that includes identification of named entities and classification of them into named entity classes such as person, location and organization etc. NER can be used to preprocess textual information and convert it into structured form that can be useful for Information Retrieval, Machine Translation, Question Answering System and Text Summarization. This paper presents a survey regarding NER research done for various Indian and non Indian languages. The study and observations related to approaches, techniques and features required to implement NER for various languages especially for Indian languages is reported. General Terms NER (Named Entity Recognition), HMM (Hidden Markov Model), CRF (Conditional Random Fields), SVM (Support Vector Machine)

Rapid development of Hindi named entity recognition using conditional random fields and feature induction

Abstract: This paper describes our application of conditional random fields with feature induction to a Hindi named entity recognition task. With only five days development time and little knowledge of this language, we automatically discover relevant features by providing a large array of lexical tests and using feature induction to automatically construct the features that most increase conditional likelihood. In an effort to reduce overfitting, we use a combination of a Gaussian prior and early stopping based on the results of 10-fold cross validation.
