Rencently I am working with Lingua::NamedEntity which is a modules in CPAN . Named entities" is the NLP jargon for proper nouns which represent people, places, organisations, and so on. This module provides a very simple way of extracting these from a text. If we run the extract_entities routine on a piece of news coverage of recent UK political events, we should expect to see it return a list of hash references looking like this: 
  { entity => 'Mr Howard', class => 'person', scores => { ... }, },
  { entity => 'Ministry of Defence', class => 'organisation', ... },
  { entity => 'Oxfordshire', class => 'place', ... },

but i find that the result is not very well,especially when the module read a text having "Monday,Tuesday "and so on it will regard these words as person,who can help me thankyou very much.

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
