"Named-entity recognition (NER) (also known as (named) entity identification, entity chunking, and entity extraction) is a subtask of information extraction that seeks to locate and classify named entities mentioned in unstructured text into pre-defined categories..."
Identifying and categorizing named entities in text, such as people, organizations, and locations.
Part-of-speech tagging (POS): This involves assigning grammatical tags (noun, verb, adjective, etc.) to every word in a sentence.
Chunking: This involves grouping together words into chunks based on their part of speech, usually using regular expressions.
Dependency parsing: This is the process of assigning a syntactic structure to a sentence, showing the relationships between words.
Entity recognition: This is the process of identifying entities such as people, organizations, locations, products, etc. in a text.
Named entity recognition (NER): This is a specific task within entity recognition that involves identifying and classifying named entities.
Training and evaluation: This involves building and testing NER models using annotated data.
Supervised learning: This is a machine learning approach where models are trained on labeled data.
Unsupervised learning: This is a machine learning approach where models are trained on unlabeled data.
Rule-based methods: These involve creating rules based on linguistic patterns to identify named entities.
Probabilistic methods: These involve using statistical models to predict named entities.
Deep learning methods: These involve neural networks that learn representations of text and use them to identify named entities.
Feature engineering: This involves selecting and extracting features from text data to use as input to machine learning models.
Evaluation metrics: These are the measures used to assess the performance of an NER model, such as precision, recall, and F1 score.
State-of-the-art approaches: These are the most advanced NER methods being used in industry and research today, such as transformer-based models.
Application areas: These are the different domains that NER is used in, such as information extraction, sentiment analysis, and chatbot development.
Person: Names of people such as "John" or "Mary".
Location: Names of places such as "New York City".
Organization: Names of companies such as "Microsoft" or "IBM".
Product: Names of products such as "iPhone" or "Coca-Cola".
Event: Names of events such as "Super Bowl" or "Olympics".
Date: Descriptions of dates such as "January 1st, 2021".
Time: Descriptions of time such as "5:30 PM".
Money: Descriptions of money such as "$5.00" or "2 million dollars".
Percentage: Expressions of percentages such as "50%" or "25.5%".
Miscellaneous: Other types of entities such as "email", "URL", "phone number", etc.

"...taking an unannotated block of text, such as this one: Jim bought 300 shares of Acme Corp. in 2006. And producing an annotated block of text that highlights the names of entities:"
"...person names, organizations, locations, medical codes, time expressions, quantities, monetary values, percentages, etc."
"[Jim]Person"
"[Acme Corp.]Organization"
"[2006]Time"
