As the Text Metadata Services (TMS) Lead in Singapore, I wanted to share my knowledge by writing a short piece on an important aspect of Natural Language Processing (NLP) called Named Entity Recognition (NER).

Named Entity Resolution is a way in which these two names can be resolved to a single person whom we all know as one of the founders of Microsoft, Bill Gates.
