Named Entity Recognition

Abstract This chapter introduces the automatic recognition of entities in texts using the method of Named Entity Recognition. After defining Named Entities, initial considerations regarding their recognition are presented. Then, the chapter outlines the development of Named Entity systems in language processing and the most important associated models. The applicability of Named Entity Recognition in theology is then examined and practical tips for testing Named Entity systems are provided. The chapter concludes with references to tools and resources for Named Entity Recognition.
