Definition

An information extraction technique that locates spans of text referring to entities (such as persons, locations, organizations, dates, monetary amounts) and assigns each span a category label; implemented with rule‑based patterns, statistical models or machine learning, and producing annotated spans that may require further disambiguation or linking to canonical identifiers.
