Attribute based Chinese Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation

In this paper, we briefly report our system for Chinese Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation task in CIPS-SIGHAN joint conference. We first present a method to extract different types of target person attributes from text documents with multiple techniques. Then we use these attributes to disambiguate different entities. Finally a classifier is used to distinguish entities in the knowledge base, and a cluster to recognize entities out of the knowledge base.
