Abstract

In this paper we show how a POS-tagger can be successfully adapted to a real world information retrieval system capable of extracting postal addresses from the Internet. We develop a particular tag-set for this system. Then we present and discuss the results acquired with the developed postal address tag-set. We conclude the paper by presenting a short description of the final IR system for Web postal address retrieval and drawing some conclusions.
