I am trying to train a NER model in Indian with custom NE (named entity) dictionary for chunking. I refer to NLTK and Stanford NER repectively:
NLTK
I found the nltk.chunk.named_entity.NEChunkParser nechunkparser able to train on a custom corpus. However, the format of training corpus was not specified in the documentation or the comment of the source code.
Where could I find some guide to the custom corpus for NER in NLTK?
Stanford NER
According to the question, the FAQ of Stanford NER gives direction of how to train a custom NER model.
One of the major concern is that default Stanford NER does not support Indian. So is it viable to feed an Indian NER corpus to the model?
Your Training corpus needs to be in a .tsv file extension.
The file should some what look like this:

This is just for representation of the data as i do not know which Indian language you are targeting. But Your data must always be Tab Separated values. First will be the token and the other value its associated label.
I have tried NER by building my custom data (in English though) and have built a model.
So I guess its pretty much possible for Indian languages also.

I am finding out the best working models for Name Entity Recognition in Gujarati Text. I know only 1 of them that is Indic Bert model of hugging face. Can anyone suggest other model which documentation or code available for Name Entity Recognition in Gujarati Language??
I found only IndicBERT model of Hugging Face. I want know other mode or any link where the code is available for Name Entity Recognition.
The recent work Joshi [1] offers L3Cube-GujaratiBERT, available on HuggingFace here. You'll have to fine-tune the model on your specific down-stream task (i.e. Named Entity Recognition in Gujarati). There is a list of Indic NER datasets here, of relevance to your problem is the AI4Bharat Naamapadam dataset which has Gujarati as one of the 11 available Indic languages.
Additional Info
In [1], Joshi initially created the L3Cube-HindBERT and L3Cube-DevBERT models pre-trained on Hindi and Devanagari script (Hindi + Marathi) monolingual corpora, respectively. These offered a modest improvement in performance over the alternative MuRIL, IndicBERT and XLM-R multi-lingual offerings. Given the improvement, the author released other Indic language-based models, namely: Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Gujarati, Assamese, Odia, Bengali, and Punjabi (all can be found at https://huggingface.co/l3cube-pune).

What is the difference between IBM NL Classifier and NLU custom model classification?
NL Classifier is trained on text (probably short text)
and when checking NLU custom model, it can also be trained on custom data for classification.
Anyone know what the differences are?
Thanks
You would typically use NLC to train up a corpus that is able to recognise intent.
NLU makes use of a lexicon based corpus to pull out information like language semantics and identify entities, keywords, concepts and so on.
I would like to train a ner model using stanford-ner.jar CRFClassifier for Nepali or Hindi language. Can I simply use the java command line mentioned in the here
Yes if you supply training data you can produce a new model. Note that when running the NER system, you will need to tokenize the text in the same way it was tokenized for the training process.
There is some more info about training NER models here: https://stanfordnlp.github.io/CoreNLP/ner.html
I want to use NER(CRF classifier) to identify Author names in a query. I trained NER following the method given in nlp.stanford.edu site using the training file:training-data.col. And tested using the file:testing-data.tsv.
The NER is tagging every input as Author, even the data that is tagged as non-Author in the training data. Can anyone tell me why NER is tagging the non-Authors in training data as Authors and how to train NER to identify Authors(I have the list of Author names to train).
Any suggestions for reference material on NER other than nlp.stanford.edu site will be helpful.
That's a very small piece of training data, so I'm not surprised that it made the wrong inferences. Since the only example it has seen of "Atal" is as Author, it's tagging "Atal" as such.
But more so, if you want to discriminate between people listed at the beginning as Author and people listed in the text as 0, Stanford NER is not going to do that. Stanford NER is intended to make long distance inferences about the named-entity tags of tokens in natural language text. In other words, it's doing the opposite of what you're trying to do.
You could probably do this with some simple pattern recognition---if your documents are formatted in a similar way, with the authors together, I would start with exploiting that. You could use the NER to tag the authors as PERSON, and then use that tag as a feature in your own tagging.
i am new to python I need to extract a job titles from text and I need to know how to train data for name entity recognition and where to train the data
To train a named-entity recognizer or other chunker with custom categories (including job titles), you need a corpus that is annotated with the categories you are interested in. Then you can read the nltk book, especially chapter 7.2 on chunking, which shows you how to train a chunker with the nltk.
