Abstract

This paper tries to study the issues and challenges for developing a Named Entity Recognition (NER) system for a resource scarce language of north east India. Kokborok a language spoken in the state of Tripura is taken as the target language in developing our NER system. Kokborok is an under resource language and not much digital work is available. We have used the frequency based approach to test our work which gave us a satisfactory result. As this is the first NER system being studied upon for this language we consider this to be our baseline NER system for future research in this area.
