Challenge: Named entity recognition (NER) taggers require external morphological disambiguation tools to function which are hard to obtain or non-existent for many languages.
Approach: They propose a model which jointly learns NER and MD taggers in languages for which one can provide a list of candidate morphological analyses.
Outcome: The proposed model can be trained independently of the morphological annotation schemes, and it performs competitively.
