Abstract
Proper name recognition is a subtask of Name Entity Recognition in Message Understanding Conference. For our corpus annotation proper name recognition is a crucial task since proper names appear approximately in more than 50% of total sentences of the electronic texts that we collected for such purpose. Our work is focused on composite proper names (names with coordinated constituents, names with several prepositional phrases, and names of songs, books, movies, etc.) We describe a method based on heterogeneous knowledge and simple resources, and the preliminary obtained results.
Work done under partial support of Mexican Government (CONACyT, SNI, COFAA-IPN), Korean Government (KIPA Professorship for Visiting Faculty Positions in Korea), and ITRI of CAU. The second author is currently on Sabbatical leave at Chung-Ang University.
