ABSTRACT
Our project involves building a platform able to retrieve, map and analyze the occurrences of place names in fictional novels published between 1800 and 1914 and whose action occurs wholly or partly in Paris. We describe a proof of concept using queries made via the TXM textual analysis platform for the extraction of street names. Then, we propose a fully automatic process using the named entity recognition (NER) components of the PERDIDO platform. This paper describes some encouraging initial results obtained by combining NLP approaches (NER methods) with textometric tools for the automated geoparsing of street names.

On the Ambiguity and Relevance of Place Names in Scientific Text
JCDL '20: Proceedings of the ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries in 2020How hard is it to systematically identify and disambiguate place names in scientific text? In order to address this question, we applied MapAffil, a toponymic search interface, on a random sample of 500 place name sentences from PubMed abstracts.

A pragmatic guide to geoparsing evaluation: Toponyms, Named Entity Recognition and pragmatics

Learning Recognition of Ambiguous Proper Names in Hindi
ICMLA '11: Proceedings of the 2011 10th International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications and Workshops - Volume 01An ambiguous proper name is a name which is also a valid dictionary word with a meaning of its own when used in the text. For example in English, the word 'bush' in 'Mr. Bush' is a proper name whereas in 'a dense bush' it is a lexical entity. Almost all ...
