# EntityMinScoreN

The minimum score that a match for the corresponding EntityN must have for it to return. 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.

NOTE: Named Entity Recognition applies the minimum score threshold before it runs any post-processing tasks (seePost-Processing). If your post-processing task reduces the score for a match to below the `EntityMinScoreN` threshold, Named Entity Recognition does not automatically discard the match.

To filter matches after all post-processing tasks have completed, set PostProcessThreshold

The score for an entity is defined by the author of the grammar and defaults to `1`. See the Named Entity Recognition Grammar Syntax for a description of the score attribute.

The entity number (`N`) in `EntityMinScoreN` must match the corresponding entity number in the `EntityN` entry.

Type: | Long
Default: | 0 (returns all matches)
Required: | No
