Abstract
Identification and extraction of proper names from Internet-based sources currently suffers from a lack of verification methods that check the validity of these extracted names. A language-independent method for assigning probabilities to extracted proper names using frequency data harvested from the Internet is presented. Verification mechanisms are built on top of this technique to exclude misidentified proper names automatically.
