Train model using Named entity

Question

I am looking on standford corenlp using the Named Entity REcognizer.I have different kinds of input text and i need to tag it into my own Entity.So i started training my own model and it doesnt seems to be working.

For eg: my input text string is "Book of 49 Magazine Articles on Toyota Land Cruiser 1956-1987 Gold Portfolio http://t.co/EqxmY1VmLg http://t.co/F0Vefuoj9Q"

I go through the examples to train my own models and and look for only some words that I am interested in.

My jane-austen-emma-ch1.tsv looks like this

Toyota  PERS
Land Cruiser    PERS

From the above input text i am only interested in those two words. The one is Toyota and the other word is Land Cruiser.

The austin.prop look like this

trainFile = jane-austen-emma-ch1.tsv
serializeTo = ner-model.ser.gz
map = word=0,answer=1
useClassFeature=true
useWord=true
useNGrams=true
noMidNGrams=true
useDisjunctive=true
maxNGramLeng=6
usePrev=true
useNext=true
useSequences=true
usePrevSequences=true
maxLeft=1
useTypeSeqs=true
useTypeSeqs2=true
useTypeySequences=true
wordShape=chris2useLC

Run the following command to generate the ner-model.ser.gz file

java -cp stanford-corenlp-3.4.1.jar edu.stanford.nlp.ie.crf.CRFClassifier -prop austen.prop

public static void main(String[] args) {
        String serializedClassifier = "edu/stanford/nlp/models/ner/english.muc.7class.distsim.crf.ser.gz";
        String serializedClassifier2 = "C:/standford-ner/ner-model.ser.gz";
        try {
            NERClassifierCombiner classifier = new NERClassifierCombiner(false, false, 
                    serializedClassifier2,serializedClassifier);
            String ss = "Book of 49 Magazine Articles on Toyota Land Cruiser 1956-1987 Gold Portfolio http://t.co/EqxmY1VmLg http://t.co/F0Vefuoj9Q";
            System.out.println("---");
            List<List<CoreLabel>> out = classifier.classify(ss);
            for (List<CoreLabel> sentence : out) {
              for (CoreLabel word : sentence) {
                System.out.print(word.word() + '/' + word.get(AnswerAnnotation.class) + ' ');
              }
              System.out.println();
            }

        } catch (ClassCastException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }  catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

Here is the output I am getting

Book/PERS of/PERS 49/O Magazine/PERS Articles/PERS on/O Toyota/PERS Land/PERS Cruiser/PERS 1956-1987/PERS Gold/O Portfolio/PERS http://t.co/EqxmY1VmLg/PERS http://t.co/F0Vefuoj9Q/PERS

which i think its wrong.I am looking for Toyota/PERS and Land Cruiser/PERS(Which is a multi valued fied.

Thanks for the Help.Any help is really appreciated.

Answer 1

The NERClassifier* is word level, that is, it labels words, not phrases. Given that, the classifier seems to be performing fine. If you want, you can hyphenate words that form phrases. So in your labeled examples and in your test examples, you would make "Land Cruiser" to "Land_Cruiser".
