Abstract
A particular implementation includes accessing a source of text that includes names, and providing the source of text as an input for a name extraction algorithm. A set of potential names is extracted from the source of text using the name extraction algorithm, and the set of potential names is provided as an input for a post-extraction filtering algorithm. A set of filtered names is produced by filtering the set of potential names against a database of names using the post-extraction filtering algorithm, and the set of filtered names is provided to one or more destinations or users.
