Named Entities (NE) are atomic elements like names of person, places, locations, organizations, quantity etc. Named Entity Recognition is a classification problem. It involves the task of identifying and classifying certain elements in text into predefined categories of named entities. Main subtasks for the Named Entity Recognition involves (1) The Document corpus construction (2) The preprocessing of the documents (3) Determine the contexts (4) Applying the hidden Markov model. In this paper, the hidden Markov model is adopted for the purpose of effective recognition of Named Entities from a document corpus.
