Named-entity recognition, or NER, is a subtask of information extraction that seeks to locate and classify named entities mentioned in unstructured text into pre-defined categories such as person names, organizations, locations, medical codes, time expressions, quantities, monetary values, percentages, and so on. Other names for this subtask include (named) entity identification, entity chunking, and entity extraction. Named-entity recognition is also known as named-entity identification.
