Lemmatization of Polish Person Names

The paper presents two techniques for lemmatization of Polish person names. First, we apply a rule-based approach which relies on linguistic information and heuristics. Then, we investigate an alternative knowledge-poor method which employs string distance measures. We provide an evaluation of the adopted techniques using a set of newspaper texts.

Revisiting Lexicographical Order Relations on Person Names∗

When a bibliography is built by extracting references from a data base—as BibTEX does when it builds a bibliography for a LATEX document—these references are usually sorted w.r.t. author names. Nevertheless, most of implementations of lexical order relations on person names consist of concatenations of the parts of names: first name, particle, last name. We show that this may lead to incorrect ...

Language Identification for Person Names Based on Statistical Information

Language identification has been an interesting and fascinating issue in natural language processing for decades, and there have been many researches on it. However, most of the researches are for documents, and though the possibility of high accuracy for shorter strings of characters, language identification for words or phrases has not been discussed much. In this paper we propose a statistic...

Proper Names and Linguistic Dynamics

Pragmatics is the study of how people exchange meanings through the use of language. In this paper we describe our experience with regard to texts belonging to a large contemporary corpus of written language, in order to verify the uses, changes and flexibility of the meaning of Proper Names (PN). As a matter of fact, while building the lexical semantic database ItalWordNet (IWN), a considerabl...
