Abstract: Due to the growing need of smart-health applications in Hindi language, there is a rapid demand for health-related Named Entity Recognition (NER) system for Hindi. For the purpose of the same, this research considers Twitter social network to extract tweets dated 1st October 2016 to 15th October 2017 from Patanjali, Dabur and other Hindi language-oriented Twitter based health sites; while considering four NE types- Person, Disease, Consumable and Organization. To the best of its knowledge, the considered Twitter dataset and NE types for Hindi language is one of the first resources that is being taken care. This article introduces three stage NER system for Tweets in Hindi language (HinTwtNER system)- pre-processing stage; machine Learning stage (Hyperspace Analogue to Language (HAL) and Conditional Random Field (CRF)); and post-processing stage. HinTwtNER looks into binary features and achieves an overall F-score of 49.87% which is comparable to the Twitter based NER systems for English and other languages.
