Name Extraction and Translation for Distillation Heng Ji and Ralph Grishman New York University Dayne Freitag, Matthias Blume and Zhiqiang (John) Wang Fair Isaac Corp. Shahram Khadivi, Richard Zens and Hermann Ney RWTH Abstract Name translation is important well beyond the relative frequency of names in a text: a cor- rectly translated passage, but with the wrong name, may lose most of its value.
