Dear all, As promised, here is now a first version of the "NE Model for German, Politics" (NEMGP).
It is based on 5094 sentences from Wikipedia and Wikinews. Its performance is not perfect, but quite good in the domain for which it was build for - texts around German politics. My plan is to extend it in the future, I will also release the editor I build for doing NE annotation. Somewhere in the future :-) Please feel free to play around with the models and the data - I put the original training data, a binary model for OpenNLP and one for Stanford NE Recognizer online. Its now under a Creative Commons License, which should be compatible with the CC license of the original Wikipedia texts. Here is the link: http://www.thomas-zastrow.de/nlp/ Best, Tom P.S: Its just a hobby project.
