Abstract:

 Named Entity Recognition (NER) is the problem of locating and categorizing atomic entities in a given text. In this 
work, we used DBpedia Linked datasets and combined existing open source tools to generate from a parallel corpus a 
bilingual lexicon of Named Entities (NE). To annotate NE in the monolingual English corpus, we used linked data entities by 
mapping them to Gate Gazetteers. In order to translate entities identified by the gate tool from the English corpus, we used 
moses, a Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) system. The construction of the Arabic-English NE lexicon is based on the 
results of moses translation. Our method is fully automatic and aims to help Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks such 
as, Machine Translation (MT) information retrieval, text mining and question answering. Our lexicon contains 48753 pairs of 
Arabic-English NE, it is freely available for use by other researchers.
