4 We compare the CLM's Entity Identification against two state-of-the-art NER systems: CogCompNER (Khashabi et al., 2018) and LSTM-CRF<cite> (Lample et al., 2016)</cite> . As Table 2 shows, the result of Ngram CLM, which yields the highest performance, is remarkably close to the result of state-of-theart NER systems (especially for English) given the simplicity of the model.
