In this section we will discuss ( i ) the state of the art in Web People Search in general , focusing on which features are used to solve the problem ; and ( ii ) lessons learnt from the WePS evaluation campaign where most approaches to the problem have been tested and compared . The disambiguation of person names in Web results is usually compared to two other Natural Language Processing tasks : Word Sense Disambiguation ( WSD ) ( Agirre and Edmonds , 2006 ) and Cross-document Coreference ( CDC ) ( Bagga and Baldwin , 1998 ) . Most of early research work on person name ambiguity focuses on the CDC problem or uses methods found in the WSD literature .
