LSTM NER

An implementation of Named Entity Recognition using LSTM Networks in Keras

Setup

Prerequisite

• python 3.6 (due to tensorflow-gpu dependency)
• pip3 v18

Setting up enviroment with Anaconda

Prerequisite

• anaconda3 v5 installed and set in PATH

Setup

$ conda create -n lstm-ner python=3.6
$ conda activate lstm-ner
$ pip install -r requirements-(cpu|gpu).txt

Setting up data to train

See data README

Running

In lstm_ner folder, type:

$ PYTHONPATH=<path/to/lstm-ner> python __main__.py [--cpu-only]

PS: Set PYTHONPATH variable to lstm-ner root directory.
