Abstract
Example methods, apparatuses, or articles of manufacture are disclosed that may be implemented, in whole or in part, using one or more computing devices to facilitate or otherwise support one or more processes or operations for identifying points of interest in a text, such as in an unstructured text, for example, in connection with bootstrapping points of interest via social media.

A method comprising:
- electronically identifying one or more points of interest (POIs) with respect to a text accessible over an electronic network.
A method comprising:
- electronically employing a bootstrapping scheme to identify one or more POIs in an unstructured text, said bootstrapping scheme is employed using one or more machine-learned models and further comprising:
- computing one or more features associated with one or more tokens representative of said one or more POIs;
- and
- classifying said one or more tokens as being at least one of said one or more POIs based, at least in part, on said one or more features.
1 more element
An article comprising:
- a non-transitory storage medium having instructions stored thereon executable by a special purpose computing platform to:
- identify a second representation of a POI name in an unstructured text based, at least in part, on a first representation of said POI name bootstrapped via social media.
