    Hello list members,
    My Ph.D. thesis is to be on named entity recognition for Norwegian. I want
    to use existing programming tools implementing different statistical
    methods. Most of my reading has been on maximum entropy modelling. Do any
    of you have any experience with existing tools that can be used for named
    entity recognition? Ideally I would like to be able to experiment with the
    kind of information provided to the system, so I want open source code that
    can be modified. In the case of maximum entropy modelling I would
    appreciate the possibility of trying different algorithms. It would be an
    extra bonus if I could try out the frequency redistibution algorithm
    advocated by Mikheev.
    I intend to post a summary of the comments received. I appreciate your help.
    Best, Åsne Haaland
