NeuroNER

Named-entity recognition (NER) aims at identifying entities of interest in the text, such as location, organization and temporal expression. Identified entities can be used in various downstream applications such as patient note de-identification and information extraction systems. They can also be used as features for machine learning systems for other natural language processing tasks. Leverages the state-of-the-art prediction capabilities of neural networks (a.k.a. "deep learning") Is cross-platform, open source, freely available, and straightforward to use. Enables the users to create or modify annotations for a new or existing corpus. Train the neural network that performs the NER. During the training, NeuroNER allows monitoring of the network. Evaluate the quality of the predictions made by NeuroNER. The performance metrics can be calculated and plotted by comparing the predicted labels with the gold labels.
