Weaponry equipment names belong to an important military naming entity that is difficult to identify because of features, such as complex components, miscellaneous, and scarce annotation corpus. Here, the automatic recognition of weaponry equipment names is specifically explored, a NER (Named Entity Recognition) algorithm is proposed based on BI-LSTM-CRF (Bi-directional Long Short Term Memory Conditional Random Field), thereby demonstrating the effectiveness of domain features in domain-specific entity recognition. Firstly, Chinese characters are represented by word embedding and input into the model. Then, the input feature vector sequence is processed by BI-LSTM (Bi-directional Long Short Term Memory) NN (Neural Network) to extract context semantic learning features. Finally, the learned features are connected to the linear CRF (Conditional Random Field), the NEs (Named Entities) in the equipment support field are labeled, and the NER results are obtained and output. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the NER algorithm based on the BI-LSTM-CRF model is 92.02%, the recall rate is 93.21%, and the F1 value reaches 93.88%. The effect of this model is better than the BI-LSTM NN model and LSTM-CRF (Long Short Term Memory Conditional Random Field) NN model. The proposed model provides some references for entity recognition in the field of equipment support.
