This has motivated research in minimally supervised methods such as semi-supervised learning and distant learning, but neither technique has yet achieved performance levels comparable to those of supervised methods. Semi-supervised methods tend to have very high precision but comparatively low recall, whereas distant learning tends to achieve higher recall but lower precision. This complementarity suggests that better results may be obtained by combining the two types of minimally supervised methods. In this paper we present a novel approach to Arabic NER using a combination of semi-supervised and distant learning techniques. We trained a semi-supervised NER classifier and another one using distant learning techniques, and then combined them using a variety of classifier combination schemes, including the Bayesian Classifier Combination (BCC) procedure recently proposed for sentiment analysis. According to our results, the BCC model leads to an increase in performance of 8 percentage points over the best base classifiers. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1162\/tacl_a_00136","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,28]],"date-time":"2018-12-28T15:44:35Z","timestamp":1546011875000},"page":"243-255","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Combining Minimally-supervised Methods for Arabic Named Entity                     Recognition"],"prefix":"10.1162","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Maha","family":"Althobaiti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, University of Essex,                         Colchester, UK,"}]},{"given":"Udo","family":"Kruschwitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, University of Essex,                         Colchester, UK,"}]},{"given":"Massimo","family":"Poesio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, University of Essex,                         Colchester, UK,"}]}],"member":"281","reference":[{"key":"p_2","first-page":"27","volume":"7","author":"AbdelRahman Samir","year":"2010","journal-title":"IJCSI"},{"issue":"2","key":"p_9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"222","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1551-6709.2009.01068.x","volume":"34","author":"Baroni Marco","year":"2010","journal-title":"Cognitive Science"},{"issue":"6","key":"p_23","first-page":"53","volume":"11","author":"Elsebai Ali","year":"2009","journal-title":"Communications of the IBIMA"},{"issue":"2","key":"p_28","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"109","DOI":"10.7763\/IJCCE.2014.V3.302","volume":"3","author":"Levenberg Abby","year":"2014","journal-title":"International Journal of Computer and Communication Engineering"},{"key":"p_29","first-page":"546","volume":"1997","author":"Maclin Richard","year":"1997","journal-title":"AAAI\/IAAI"},{"issue":"1","key":"p_33","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1075\/li.30.1.03nad","volume":"30","author":"Nadeau David","year":"2007","journal-title":"Lingvisticae Investigationes"},{"key":"p_36","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"151","DOI":"10.1016\/j.artint.2012.03.006","volume":"194","author":"Nothman Joel","year":"2013","journal-title":"Artificial Intelligence"},{"key":"p_41","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.1016\/j.datak.2012.06.003","volume":"85","author":"Saha Sriparna","year":"2013","journal-title":"Data & Knowledge Engineering"},{"issue":"8","key":"p_43","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1652","DOI":"10.1002\/asi.21090","volume":"60","author":"Shaalan Khaled","year":"2009","journal-title":"Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology"},{"key":"p_51","first-page":"615","volume":"2","author":"Zhang Tong","year":"2002","journal-title":"The Journal of Machine Learning Research"}],"container-title":["Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.mitpressjournals.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.1162\/tacl_a_00136","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,12]],"date-time":"2021-03-12T21:38:40Z","timestamp":1615585120000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/direct.mit.edu\/tacl\/article\/43275"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,12]]},"references-count":10,"alternative-id":["10.1162\/tacl_a_00136"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1162\/tacl_a_00136","relation":{},"ISSN":["2307-387X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2307-387X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,12]]}}}
