Refer Issue #7

The system that I propose to implement is an end-to-end system that extracts the text from probate books and seeds them into a database with entities such as name, county, date, relationships etc. This system can, therefore, be broken down into three phases -

  1. Text extraction using Optical Character Recognition
  2. Named Entity Recognition using Language Processing
  3. Database Seeding based on the entities generated

Due to lack of samples to train a Named Entity Recognizer, I've made use of the Stanford NER Wrapper and NLTK to produce the results.

1. OCR using pytesseract - ocr.py
2. Named Entity Recognition using NLTK and Stanford NLP Wrapper
	a)NLTK - nltk_ner.py
	b)Stanford NLP - stanford_ner.py
3. To get a good idea of prerequisites and execution details - README.md
