Abstract—The process of identifying entities in a written document and categorizing them into predetermined categories such as Person, Location, Organization, and so on is known as named entity recognition. It is a vital phase in the natural language text processing process. The named entity recognition system is designed to extract useful data from the text. In Malayalam, various approaches are used for NER. In this research, we propose a Naive Bayes classifier-based NER system for Malayalam. NER structures characteristic properly in high-aid languages like English, however for low-aid languages like Malayalam, that is an Indian language spoken within side the nation of Kerala, there are few nicely-advanced NER structures.
