Named Entity Recognition, (NE), for Swedish, without the use of Gazeteers
NE is the process of identifying and classifying names of people, places etc. NE recognition is usually based on pre-stored lists of entities. The method exploited here is based on trigger words, typical predicates and constructions, associated with the entities, suffixes, prefixes and other simple heuristics.
