Rembrandt - a named-entity recognition framework

Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2012)

Abstract

Rembrandt is a named entity recognition system specially crafted to annotate documents by classifying named entities and ground them into unique identifiers. Rembrandt played an important role within our research over geographic IR, thus evolving into a more capable framework where documents can be annotated, manually curated and indexed. The goal of this paper is to present Rembrandt's simple but powerful annotation framework to the NLP community.
