In the article, Locating Place Names At Scale: Using Natural Language Processing To Identify Geographical Information In Text, the author demonstrates how researches are able to identify the place of an area located in the text. Computer scientists use programs such as, Named Entity Recognition (NER), and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in order to identity the names of places with text documents. Researchers can then use Google API in order to create reference points in which help highlight the geographical location of the named places. This article was extremely interesting because it made me think about the levels of depth when it comes to computer programming. DA sums this up well when the student says, “I think this article was a great way to explore the fault in some programming and show how searching for specific things does not always get you the results you need.”
