Hi @reginsmol

It is not named entity extraction.

It assmues the following name format: [<salutations>] <name part as FN [MN] [LN]> [<degrees>] and extracts the name from such a text string. Entities in square brackets are optional.

Please refer to the documentation for details https://winkjs.org/wink-nlp-utils/string.html#extractPersonsName

Best, Sanjaya
