Abstract

We describe our contribution to the Generation Challenge 2010 for the tasks of Named Entity Recognition and co-reference detection (GREC-NER). To extract the NE and the referring expressions, we employ a combination of a Part of Speech Tagger and the Conditional Random Fields (CRF) learning technique. We finally experiment an original algorithm to detect co-references. We conclude with discussion about our system performances.
