Abstract
Unsupervised features based on word representations such as word embeddings and word collocations have shown to significantly improve supervised NER for English. In this work we investigate whether such unsupervised features can also boost supervised NER in Spanish. To do so, we use word representations and collocations as additional features in a linear chain Conditional Random Field (CRF) classifier. Experimental results (82.44% F-score on the CoNLL-2002 corpus) show that our approach is comparable to some state-of-art Deep Learning approaches for Spanish, in particular when using cross-lingual word representations.
