Abstract
The creation of high-quality named entity annotated resources is time-consuming and an expensive process. Most of the gold standard corpora are available for English but not for less-resourced languages such as Vietnamese. In Asian languages, this task is remained problematic. This paper focuses on an automatic construction of named entity annotated corpora for Vietnamese-French, a less-resourced pair of languages. We incrementally apply different cross-projection methods using parallel corpora, such as perfect string matching and edit distance similarity. Evaluations on Vietnamese –French pair of languages show a good accuracy (F-score of 94.90%) when identifying named entities pairs and building a named entity annotated parallel corpus.- Anthology ID:
