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

if you have sentence such as "who is bill gates" And if you apply part of speech tagger to it. It will give answer as

"who/WP is/VBZ bill/NN gates/NNS ?/. "

U can try this online on http://cst.dk/online/pos_tagger/uk/

So you are getting what are all the nouns in this sentence. Now you can easily extract this nouns with some algorithm. I suggest to use python if you are using natural language processing. It has NLTK(Natural language toolkit) with which you can work.
