Abstract

We describe a fast, high-performance name recognizer for Arabic texts. It combines a pattern-matching engine and supporting data with a morphological analysis component. The role of the morphological analysis in accurate name recognition is discussed. We also provide evaluations of both morphological analysis and name recognition.
