People Name Detection
Many online queries are either personal names or they contain personal names. For example, "John Smith" is a personal name, and "I am pleased to tell you that Andy Beal will be working as an internet marketing consultant" contains a personal name. Please enter a query to detect whether this query is a person's name, or contains a person's name.

Accurately identifying if a query is a personal name, or contains a personal name can help understand a user's Web search intent and provide more relevant search results to meet the user's needs. For example, if you know a query is a person's name, then you can return the biography and related attributes (such as publications, songs, movies etc.) of the targeted person to the users.
 
 
 
This tool can be used to increase the efficiency of an internet marketing campaign by improving ad relevancy. For example, this tool reduces the burden on the people-search Web service providers, such as USA People Search, when they are running an online advertizing campaign. By analyzing user queries, the advertising engine of our People Name Detection tool can trigger more relevant ads for businesses, without the need to bid for a large number of unrelated names.

Scope: This tool detects names in first name + last name sequence, since users normally type names in this sequence. Moreover, this tool is currently targeting English names. For non-English names, the results may not be as effective. If you need more information about this tool or have any suggestions to share, please contact us.
