Abstract

A tool for managing text-item recognition systems such as NER (Named Entity Recognition) systems. The tool applies the system to a text corpus containing instances of text items, such as named entities, to be recognized by the system, and selecting from the text corpus a set of instances of text items which the system recognized. The tool tokenizes the text corpus such that each instance in the aforementioned set is encoded as a single token and processing the tokenized text via a word embedding scheme to generate a word embedding matrix. The tool, responsive to selecting a seed token corresponding to an instance in the aforementioned set, performs a nearest-neighbor search of the embedding space to identify a set of neighboring tokens for the seed token, and identifies the text corresponding to each neighboring token as a potential instance of a text item to be annotated.
