These are in J??.xml, e.g. in J17.xml:

<title>Book Review: Automatic Detection of Verbal Deception by Eileen Fitzpatrick, Joan Bachenko and Tommaso Fornaciari</title>

Why not just add these to the word/phrase list?

That would be fine for names that aren't ambiguous with common nouns.

We may also want to fixed-case the title of the book being mentioned, or find a way to indicate it should be italicized, but that seems less urgent.

One way to get a first version of a truelist of person names would be to compile the names of authors and editors from all anthology submissions. I might do that if I find the time.
