Abstract
Names are categorized as proper nouns. Identifying nouns in unstructured text is very challenging since the number is almost unlimited. Name recognition can be used for part-of-speech (POS) tagging or automatic term acquisition in natural language processing (NLP). In this paper we proposed a general approach to recognize names in Malay text. Using the proposed approach, we implement an application of free indexing for indexing names from a collection of Malay texts. Our evaluation shows that the application reach 92% precision score, 54% recall score, and F-score 68% in indexing names from news' articles.
