Lightweight Named Entity Extraction for Korean Short Message Service Text

Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a hybrid method of Machine Learning (ML) algorithm and a rule-based algorithm to implement a lightweight Named Entity (NE) extraction system for Korean SMS text.NE extraction from Korean SMS text is a challenging theme due to the resource limitation on a mobile phone, corruptions in input text, need for extension to include personal information stored in a mobile phone, and sparsity of training data.The proposed hybrid method retaining the advantages of statistical ML and rule-based algorithms provides fully-automated procedures for the combination of ML approaches and their correction rules using a threshold-based soft decision function.The proposed method is applied to Korean SMS texts to extract person's names as well as location names which are key information in personal appointment management system.Our proposed system achieved 80.53% in F-measure in this domain, superior to those of the conventional ML approaches.
