Named Entity Recognition

A Submodule of the Artificial Intelligence project

A module that can recognize and categorize Named Entities in text, because who doesn't love a good game of "find the person/place/organization"

Purpose:

We are currently using this module to train a model to recognize John Doe as a Person, The United States as a Location, and The New York Times as a Named Entity Mentioning Organization (or NEMON for short).

Current Status:

We have reached 97% accuracy on recognizing John Doe as a Person. However, our model still has a 3% chance of confusing them with The New York Times when they're wearing a fedora and a trench coat.

Future Plans:

We are planning to add more Named Entity types, including Organization, Event, and Concept. Because, let's be real, who doesn't want to be able to recognize a good Concept when they see one?
