The document discusses named entity recognition in Sanskrit. It notes that conventional methods used for English do not work well for Sanskrit due to a lack of annotated data and linguistic style differences. The document outlines approaches used for named entity recognition in Sanskrit, including supervised approaches applied to linguistic corpora with annotated ground truths, feature selection based on natural signals in the language like capitalization in English, and using techniques like hidden Markov models and conditional random fields with a dataset from the Bagavatam and generated ground truths accounting for features like parts of speech, position, lemmas, suffixes, and context.
