  NSURL-2019 Task 7 focuses on Named Entity Recognition (NER) in Farsi. This
task was chosen to compare different approaches to find phrases that specify
Named Entities in Farsi texts, and to establish a standard testbed for future
researches on this task in Farsi. This paper describes the process of making
training and test data, a list of participating teams (6 teams), and evaluation
results of their systems. The best system obtained 85.4% of F1 score based on
phrase-level evaluation on seven classes of NEs including person, organization,
location, date, time, money and percent.
