Abstract

This paper describes a medicinal products and active ingredients named entity recogniser (MaNER) for Spanish technical documents. This rule-based system uses high quality and low-maintenance lexicons. Our results (F-measure 90%) proves that dictionary-based approaches, without any deep natural language processing (e.g. POS tagging), can achieve a high performance in this task. Our system obtains better results when compared to similar systems.
