This model is reported in the paper: Nguyen Truong Son, Nguyen Le Minh, "Nested named entity recognition using multilayer recurrent neural networks", PACLING 2017, August 16 - 18, 2017, Sedona Hotel, Yangon, Myanmar (to be appear)
Requirements:
- Python 2.7, with Numpy and Theano installed.
 
Two implemented models:
- 
lstm-tagger-v4: Implementation of single BI-LSTM-CRF with additional features to recognize named entites at the top level.
 - 
multi-lstm: Implementation of Multilayer BI-LSTM-CRF model to recognize nested named entities.
 
Our proposed models are based on Lample et al 2016.
