Named Entity Recognition 26.1
Named Entity Recognition User and Programming Guide

# MinScore

The minimum score that a match must have for Named Entity Recognition to return it. The lowest possible score is 0. The upper limit varies depending on the entity.

Set a higher minimum score to indicate that matches must meet a higher confidence level to return.

This parameter applies to all entities. You can also set EntityMinScoreN, which applies to the entities specified by the corresponding EntityN parameter. If you set both parameters, a match must exceed both thresholds.

NOTE: Named Entity Recognition applies this threshold before it runs any post-processing tasks (see Post-Processing). To filter matches after all post-processing tasks have completed, set PostProcessThreshold

NOTE: You can override the value of this parameter by using the associated Named Entity Recognition SDK functions, or by providing a configuration file fragment when you create the session.
