You say that named entity recognition is not generalised beyond Mail, but the support library is there for anyone to use. See for example https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nslinguistictagger/iden... In Python, you can use NLTK to do roughly the same. There's no real point in reimplementing this stuff in Pharo. Just set up a separate process, send text to it, and receive results back.

Hi all,
Iâve often got the need to analyse some random unstructured text to discover (structured) information (in email for instance), to extract : - emails - telephone numbers - addresses - events - person names (according to a list of known persons), - etcâ¦
Apple do it in email for instance (strangely, this is not generalized).
So my questions are : - do we have something equivalent in Smalltalk/Pharo ? (I didnât find) - if not, what strategy would you use ? => I do really stupid text analysis (substrings, finding @, â¦, parsing according to the text structure when there is⦠kind of Soup parsingâ¦) => I feel this is a job for PetitParser ? And would be a nice feet to the new GToolkit.
All ideas or suggestions are welcome ;-)
TIA,
