The most frequently applied technique in the CoNLL-2003 shared task is the Maximum Entropy Model. Three systems used Maximum Entropy Models in isolation (Bender et al., 2003; Chieu and Ng, 2003; Curran and Clark, 2003) . Two more systems used them in combination with other techniques<cite> (Florian et al., 2003</cite>; Klein et al., 2003) .
