I am editing a text written in greek (polytonic) language and I would like to locate specific words such as nouns, mostly names. Can I find something that could help? I could try also anything adjustable or "trainable" software... Thank you all!
Hello! Although I do not understand a work in Greek, I would advise you to use Neural Networks to accomplish this task - it would meet your criteria of being trainable.
MATLAB has a Neural Networks toolbox that is very easy to use.
Just be advised: if you are using hand-written or low quality printed characters, this solution may get non trivial quite fast. Neural networks may present errors, depending on how trained they are.
All in all, do wish you luck with this approach! :)
