Named entity recognition is a natural language processing technology that finds words with unique meanings such as human names, place names, organization names, dates, and time in sentences and attaches them. Morphological analysis in Korean is generally divided into morphological analysis and part-of-speech tagging. In general, named entity recognition and morphological analysis studies conducted in independently. However, in this architecture, the error of morphological analysis propagates to named entity recognition. To alleviate the error propagation problem, we propose an integrated model using Label Attention Network (LAN). As a result of the experiment, our model shows better performance than the single model of named entity recognition and morphological analysis. Our model also demonstrates better performance than previous integration models.
