Abstract-Arabic Named Entity Recognition (ANER) systems aim to identify and classify Arabic Named entities (NEs) within Arabic text. Other important tasks in Arabic Natural Language Processing (NLP) depends on ANER such as machine translation, questionanswering, information extraction, etc. In general, ANER systems can be classified into three main approaches, namely, rule-based, machine-learning or hybrid systems. In this paper, we focus on research progress in machine-learning (ML) ANER and compare between linguistic resource, entity type, domain, method, and performance. We also highlight the challenges when processing Arabic NEs through ML systems.
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.
