While working for Acquire Media, I undertook a project designed to compare our named entity recognizer to these five open source extractors:

• GATE
• Mitie
• NLTK
• spaCy
• Stanford CoreNLP

Here I share a project description as well as the slides from a presentation about our results.

Here are the slides from a presentation given on this topic at the Gilbane Conference in 2017.
