System, method and program for discriminating named entity
First Claim
1. A named entity discriminating system for detecting named entities composed of location names, personal names and organization names in text, comprising:
- a reading means for reading text from a hypertext database;
a single text analyzing means for analyzing the text read by the reading means to detect candidates for the named entity in the text; and
a complex text analyzing means for estimating the likelihood of the candidate named entity detected by the single text analyzing means by an analysis with reference to referring link text and/or linked text of the text in which the candidate named entity appears.

Abstract
A named entity discriminating system capable of discriminating names entities such as location names, personal names, and organization names in text with a high degree of accuracy is provided. A reading means reads text from a hypertext database. A single text analyzing means analyzes each text read by the reading means and detects candidates for the named entity in the text. A complex text analyzing means estimates the likelihood of the candidate named entity detected by the single text analyzing means by an analysis with reference to referring link text or linked text of the text in which the candidate named entity appears.
