Abstract

Handcrafted rule based systems attain a high level of performance but constructing rules is a time consuming work and low frequency patterns are easy to be neglected. This paper presents a hybrid approach, which combines a machine learning method and a rule based method, to improve our Chinese NE system's efficiency. We describe a bootstrapping algorithm that extracts patterns and generates semantic lexicons simultaneously. After the use of new patterns 14% more person names are extracted by our system.
