# Named-Entity-Recognition-BLSTM-CNN-CoNLL

  Keras implementation of the Bidirectional LSTM and CNN model similar to Chiu and Nichols (2016) for CoNLL 2003 news data. Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.05468

The implementation differs from the original paper in these ways:

  1) no lexicons

  2) Nadam optimizer used instead of SGD

  3) Parameters: LSTM cell size of 200 (vs 275), dropout of 0.5 (vs 0.68)

Here is the corresponding Medium post with more details: https://medium.com/@maxhofer/deep-learning-for-named-entity-recognition-2-implementing-the-state-of-the-art-bidirectional-lstm-4603491087f1

Code adapted from: https://github.com/kamalkraj/Named-Entity-Recognition-with-Bidirectional-LSTM-CNNs

# Result 

  The implementation achieves a test F1 score of ~86 with 30 epochs. Increase the number of epochs to 80 reach an F1 over 90. The score produced in Chiu and Nichols (2016) is 91.62.
