Language-Independent Named Entity Recognition Task

A Language-Independent Named Entity Recognition Task is a Named Entity Recognition Task where the Natural Language is not known in advance.

• AKA: Language-Independent NER Task.
• Context:
  • It can be solved by a Language-Independent Named Entity Recognition Algorithm.
• Example(s):
  • CoNLL-2003 Benchmark Task.
• See:----
