| Abstract | The Quæro program that promotes research and industrial innovation ontechnologies for automatic analysis and classification of multimediaand multilingual documents. Within its context a set of evaluationsof Named Entity recognition systems was held in 2009. Four tasks weredefined. The first two concerned traditional named entities in Frenchbroadcast news for one (a rerun of ESTER 2) and of OCR-ed oldnewspapers for the other. The third was a gene and protein nameextraction in medical abstracts. The last one was the detection ofreferences in patents. Four different partners participated, giving atotal of 16 systems. We provide a synthetic descriptions of all ofthem classifying them by the main approaches chosen (resource-based,rules-based or statistical), without forgetting the fact that anymodern system is at some point hybrid. The metric (the relativelystandard Slot Error Rate) and the results are also presented anddiscussed. Finally, a process is ongoing with preliminary acceptanceof the partners to ensure the availability for the community of allthe corpora used with the exception of the non-Quæro produced ESTER 2one. |
