  • Patent number: 8938385
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for recognizing a named entity included in natural language, comprising the steps of: performing gradual parsing model training with the natural language to obtain a classification model; performing gradual parsing and recognition according to the obtained classification model to obtain information on positions and types of candidate named entities; performing a refusal recognition process for the candidate named entities; and generating a candidate named entity lattice from the refusal-recognition-processed candidate named entities, and searching for a optimal path. The present invention uses a one-class classifier to score or evaluate these results to obtain the most reliable beginning and end borders of the named entities on the basis of the forward and backward parsing and recognizing results obtained only by using the local features.
