Stanford NER

We have worked on a wide range of NER and IE related tasks over the past several years. We entered the 2003 CoNLL NER shared task, using a Character-based Maximum Entropy Markov Model (MEMM). In late 2003 we entered the BioCreative shared task, which aimed at doing NER in the domain of Biomedical papers. This task required identifying genes and proteins, but not distinguishing between the two.
