Named Entity Mention Detection Algorithm

A Named Entity Detection Algorithm is a mention identification algorithm that can solve a named entity mention detection task (restricted to detecting named entity mentions in text).

• Context:
  • It can support a Named Entity Mention Recognition Algorithm.
  • It can range from being a Dictionary-based Named Entity Detection Algorithm to being a Supervised Named Entity Mention Identification Algorithm/Supervised Named Entity Detection Algorithm.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Word Mention Segmentation Algorithm.
  • a Concept Mention Identification Algorithm.
  • a Named Entity Mention Classification Algorithm.
  • a Named Entity Mention Recognition Algorithm.
• See: Entity Mention.
