Hidden Markov Models as Structured Prediction
Required Readings

Optional Readings
- An Algorithm that Learns What's in a Name, Bikel et al, MLJ 1999. Another well-engineered and influential HMM-based NER system.
- Unsupervised Learning of Field Segmentation Models for Information Extraction, Grenager, Klein, and Manning, ACL 2005. Unsupervised segmentation paper.
- Named Entity Recognition with Character-Level Models, Klein et al, CoNLL 2003. Interesting twist on the standard approach of token-tagging - NER by tagging characters and character n-grams.
