The majority of this research is based on the English language. Hence, some of these improvements are language-dependent and do not necessarily lead to better results when applied to other languages. Therefore, this paper discusses TOMO, an approach to language-aware named entity detection and evaluates it for the German language. This also required the development of a German gold standard dataset, which was based on the English dataset used by the OKE 2016 challenge. An evaluation of the named entity detection task using the web-based platform GERBIL was undertaken and results show that our approach produced higher F1 values than the other annotators did. This indicates that language-dependent features do improve the overall quality of the spotter. %G English %Z TC 5 %Z TC 8 %Z TC 12 %Z WG 8.4 %Z WG 8.9 %Z WG 12.9 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01677147/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01677147/file/456304_1_En_22_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01677147 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01677147 %~ SHS %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC5 %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC12 %~ IFIP-TC8 %~ IFIP-WG8-4 %~ IFIP-WG8-9 %~ IFIP-LNCS-10410 %~ IFIP-CD-MAKE %~ IFIP-WG12-9
