There is currently few research in using deep learning (DL) applied to Named Entities Recognition (NER) in Portuguese texts. This work exposes some challenges and limitations but also the benefits of applying DL architectures to NER in Portuguese. Four different DL architectures are applied to Portuguese datasets. All architectures are heavily influenced by previous published work in NER applied to English. Annotated data is used to train and test NER models, while non-annotated data is used to train word embeddings, as well as being a key part of a bootstrapping approach, where raw textual data is used to create NER models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
