Question

I\'m interested in learning more about Natural Language Processing (NLP) and am curious if there are currently any strategies for recognizing proper nouns in a text that are

Answer 1

It depends on what you mean by dictionary-based.

For example, one strategy would be to take things that aren't in a dictionary and try to proceed on the assumption that they're proper nouns. If this leads to a sensible parse, consider the assumption provisionally validated and keep going, otherwise conclude that they aren't.

Other ideas:

• In subject position, any simple subject without a determiner is a good candidate.
• Ditto in prepositional phrases
• In any position, the basis of a possessive determiner (e.g. Bob in "Bob's sister") is a good candidate
