Stanford NER - MISC Entity?

Question

I'm using Stanford NER and I have some results with the entity "MISC" in the

4 class :Location, Person, Organization, Misc

but I don't know what really represent this entity, anyone know what is that entity ?

Thanks

Answer 1

MISC is a category from the CoNLL 2003 evaluation data which is typically used to develop NER models. Honestly I don't think there is any definition of MISC beyond "is a named entity" and "isn't PERSON, ORG, or LOC".

Answer 2

I found this description on spaCy: "MISC: Miscellaneous entities, e.g., events, nationalities, products, or works of art." for models recognizing PER, LOC, ORG, MISC.
