| Challenge: | Pre-trained named entity recognition models are inaccurate on modern corpora due to differences in language OCR errors. |
| Approach: | They develop a named entity recognition (NER) corpus of 3.6M sentences from medieval charters written mainly in Czech, Latin, and German. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves entity-level Precision of 72.81–93.98% with 58.14–81.77% Recall on a manually-annotated test dataset. |
