A Local Grammar-based Approach to Recognizing of Proper Names in Korean Texts
Jee-Sun Nam, Key‐Sun Choi · Journal of Visual Languages & Computing · 1997
We present an LO-based approach to recognizing of Proper Names in Korean texts. Local grammars (LGs) are constructed by examining specific syntactic contexts of lexical elements, given that the general syntactic rules, independent from lexical items, cannot provide accurate analyses. The LGs will be represented under the form of Finite State Automata (FSA) in our system. So far as we do not have a dictionary which would provide all proper names, we need auxiliary tools to analyze them. We will examine contexts where strings containing proper names occur. Our approach consists in building an electronic lexicon of PNs in a way more satisfactory than other existing methods, such as their recognition in texts by means of statistical approaches or by rule-based methods.
