Named entity recognition based on Verbs Associated with Human Activities (VAHA)

Motivated by a hypothesis such that there always exists verb specifically describes human being conduct, this thesis propose a NER system which aims to identify NEs that perform human activity based on verb analysis in an autonomous manner. In other words, this research attempt to identify NEs by o...
