# Run Named Entity Recognition

Named Entity Recognition (Eduction) identifies and extracts entities from text, based on a pattern that you define. An entity is a word, phrase, or block of information. A pattern might be a dictionary, for example a list of people or places. Alternatively, the pattern can describe what the entity looks like without having to list it explicitly, for example a regular expression that describes an address or telephone number. After entities are extracted the text is written to the document fields that you specify. For more information about Named Entity Recognition, refer to the Named Entity Recognition User and Programming Guide.

You can run Named Entity Recognition on document fields by using the `Eduction` task.

NOTE: To use the `Eduction` task you must have a license for Named Entity Recognition and the relevant grammar files, and specify the host name and ACI port of your License Server in the CFS configuration file.

You can run the `Eduction` task using the `Post` parameter. The parameters that are passed to the task are specified in a named section of the configuration file. For example:

    [ImportTasks]
    Post0=Eduction:EductionSettings

    [EductionSettings]
    ResourceFiles=C:\MyGrammar\gram1.ecr
    SearchFields=DRECONTENT
    Entity0=edk_common_entities/postal_address
    EntityField0=SHIPPING_ADDRESS
