Named Entity Recognition (NER) identifies and classifies named entities (person, organization, location, date) in text. Input: 'Alice works at Google in NYC.' Output: Person=Alice, Organization=Google, Location=NYC. Mastery takes 3-4 weeks. Used in document processing, chatbots, search indexing, compliance (PII detection). Teams using NER report 60% reduction in manual data labeling time and 20% faster document classification. Scarcity is low; basic NER with pre-trained models is trivial, but domain-specific NER (financial, legal, medical) with custom training is rare.

Named Entity Recognition NLP이란

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is an NLP task that identifies and classifies named entities in text. Entity types vary by application but commonly include: Person, Organization, Location, Date, Money, Facility. Input: "Elon Musk leads Tesla in Austin." Output: Elon Musk (PERSON), Tesla (ORG), Austin (LOC). NER is built using sequence labeling models (BiLSTM-CRF, Transformers) that tag each word as entity type or non-entity. Pre-trained models (spaCy, Hugging Face) work well on generic text; fine-tuning improves domain-specific accuracy.

❓ 자주 묻는 질문

What's the difference between NER and keyword extraction?

Keyword extraction finds important words (TF-IDF, TextRank). NER finds entities and classifies them (Alice = PERSON, Apple = ORGANIZATION). NER is more structured and enables downstream tasks (entity linking, relation extraction, knowledge graphs).

Should I use spaCy or Hugging Face?

spaCy: fast, production-ready, optimized for efficiency. Hugging Face: more flexible, supports custom models, larger community. For production: spaCy. For research/custom: Hugging Face. Many use both (spaCy for speed, HF for accuracy).

How do I train NER on domain-specific text?

Collect labeled examples (200-500 min). Use Prodigy for annotation or label manually. Fine-tune a transformer (BERT, RoBERTa) on your domain. Evaluate on 20% holdout. Typical accuracy: 85-95% depending on domain complexity.

What if NER misses entities or gives false positives?

Common issue with pre-trained models on new domains. Fine-tune on domain data. Use ensemble (spaCy + Hugging Face) and vote on predictions. Fallback to rule-based patterns for high-precision cases (email, phone).

Can NER handle nested entities?

Standard NER = flat (no nesting). Example: 'International Business Machines Inc.' = ORG but doesn't recognize 'Business Machines' as sub-entity. Nested NER exists but is complex. Most applications use flat NER.
