Abstract : In this paper we introduce our method of Unsupervised Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation (UNERD) that we test on a recently digitized unlabeled corpus of French journals comprising 260 issues from the 19th century. Our study focuses on detecting person, location, and organization names in text. Our original method uses a French entity knowledge base along with a statistical contextual disambiguation approach. We show that our method outperforms supervised approaches when trained on small amounts of annotated data, since manual data annotation is very expensive and time consuming, especially in foreign languages and specific domains.
