Method and system for hybrid entity recognition

A hybrid entity recognition system and accompanying method identify composite entities based on machine learning. An input sentence is received and is preprocessed to remove extraneous information, perform spelling correction, and perform grammar correction to generate a cleaned input sentence. A POS tagger tags parts of speech of the cleaned input sentence. A rules based entity recognizer module identifies first level entities in the cleaned input sentence. The cleaned input sentence is converted and translated into numeric vectors. Basic and composite entities are extracted from the cleaned input sentence using the numeric vectors.
