We present a way to generate gazetteers from the Wikidata knowledge graph and use the lists to improve a neural NER system by adding an input feature indicating that a word is part of a name in the gazetteer. We empirically show that the approach yields performance gains in two distinct languages: a high-resource, word-based language, English and a highresource, character-based language, Chinese. We apply the approach to a low-resource language, Russian, using a new annotated Russian NER corpus from Reddit tagged with four core and eleven extended types, and show a baseline score.
