'''Automatically Developing a Fine-Grained Arabic Named Entity Corpus and Gazetteer by Utilizing Wikipedia''' - scientific work related to [[Wikipedia quality]] published in 2013, written by [[Fahd Alotaibi]] and [[Mark G. Lee]].

== Overview ==
This paper presents a methodology to exploit the potential of [[Arabic Wikipedia]] to assist in the automatic development of a large Fine-grained Named Entity (NE) corpus and gazetteer. The corner stone of this approach is efficient classification of [[Wikipedia]] articles to target NE classes. The resources developed were thoroughly evaluated to ensure [[reliability]] and a high quality. Results show the developed gazetteer boosts the performance of the NE classifier on a news-wire domain by at least 2 points F-measure. Moreover, by combining a learning NE classifier with the developed corpus the score achieved is a high F-measure of 85.18%. The developed resources overcome the limitations of traditional Arabic NE tasks by more fine-grained analysis and providing a beneficial route for further studies.
