Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid method for extracting named entities from medical texts in the Karakalpak language. The approach is based on a rule-oriented method that preprocesses the text in the form of morphological analysis of word forms in the text. This analysis is based on rules and a base of affixes that allow the stemming process to be carried out in order to identify the root of a word or correct misspelled words. After preprocessing, the named entities in the text are directly identified using the multilingual mBERT model. To train this language model, a sample of 5,000 sentences marked using the BIOES scheme was used. The test results showed that the hybrid approach outperforms both rule-based methods without a neural network and neural network solutions without preprocessing. The high score is supported by digital indicators, where the accuracy and recall of the model reached 90% and 90%, respectively, and the F1-measure was about 91%. In addition, the authors conducted a comparative analysis of existing solutions and provided information on the Karakalpak language.
