Multilingual Named Entity Recognition on Spanish-English Code-switched Tweets using Support Vector Machines

Daniel Claeser, Samantha Kent, Dennis Felske


Abstract
This paper describes our system submission for the ACL 2018 shared task on named entity recognition (NER) in code-switched Twitter data. Our best result (F1 = 53.65) was obtained using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) with 14 features combined with rule-based post processing.
