miNER

A python library for NER (Named Entity Recognition) evaluation

We can evaluate the performance of NER by distinguishing between known entities and unknown entities using this library.

Support

• Tagging Scheme
  • IOB2
  • BIOES
• metrics
  • precision
  • recall
  • f1

Requirements

• python3

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/Andolab/miNER#egg=miNER

Usage

Sample

>>> from miner import Miner
>>> answers = [
    'B-PSN O O B-LOC O O O O'.split(' '),
    'B-PSN I-PSN O O B-LOC I-LOC O O O O'.split(' '),
    'S-PSN O O S-PSN O O B-LOC I-LOC E-LOC O O O O'.split(' ')
]
>>> predicts = [
    'B-PSN O O B-LOC O O O O'.split(' '),
    'B-PSN B-PSN O O B-LOC I-LOC O O O O'.split(' '),
    'S-PSN O O O O O B-LOC I-LOC E-LOC O O O O'.split(' ')
]
>>> sentences = [
    '花子 さん は 東京 に 行き まし た'.split(' '),
    '山田 太郎 君 は 東京 駅 に 向かい まし た'.split(' '),
    '花子 さん と ボブ くん は 東京 スカイ ツリー に 行き まし た'.split(' '),
]
>>> knowns = {'PSN': ['花子'], 'LOC': ['東京']} # known words (words included in training data)
>>> m = Miner(answers, predicts, sentences, knowns)
>>> m.default_report(True)
	precision    recall    f1_score   num
PSN	 0.500        0.500     0.500      4
LOC	 1.000        1.000     1.000      3
>>> m.return_predict_named_entities()
{'known': {'PSN': ['花子'], 'LOC': ['東京']}, 'unknown': {'PSN': ['太郎', '山田'], 'LOC': ['東京駅', '東京スカイツリー']}}

Methods

method	description
default_report(print_)	return result of named entity recognition. if print_=True, showing result
known_only_report(print_)	return result of known named entity recognition.
unknown_only_report(print_)	return result of unknown named entity recognition.
return_predict_named_entities()	return named entities along predicted label(predicts).
return_answer_named_entities()	return named entities along answer label(answer).
