OpeNER: Open Polarity Enhanced Named Entity Recognition

Currently there are many companies offering Content Analytics and Social Internet Mining services for the purposes of Opinion Mining and Reputation Management. A high percentage of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are active offering niche solutions to specific segments of the market and/or domains. However, acquiring or developing the base qualifying technologies required to enter the market is an expensive undertaking that redirects the already limited resources of SMEs away from offering products and services that the market demands.The main goal of the OpeNER european project is the reuse and repurposing of existing language resources and data sets to provide a set of underlying technologies to the broader industrial and academic community.
