Using both MITIE library and Convnet.

To run this code, you should have

• OpenCV
• MITIE lib & dlib (new version can be found in MITIE github)

##Compile & Run

• Download MITIE and install mitie models by running:

make MITIE-models

• put mitielib folder and dlib into named-entity-recognition folder

• put MITIE-models/english/total_word_feature_extractor.dat into ./network folder

• Compile by running:

cmake .
make

• Run:

./NER x

• where x is run mode:
  • 1: Train mitie
  • 2: Train convolutional neural networks
  • 3: Do named entity recognition using mitie
  • 4: Do named entity recognition using convolutional neural networks
