Are there any reference document(s) that give a comprehensive list of NER labeling schemes (e.g., IOB1, IOB2, or IOBES) along with their pros/cons, and ideally some pointers to publications? I am mostly interested in how the choice of the labeling schemes impacts machine learning algorithms' performances.
