is there a method that allows to determine if NOUN is a person or Object?

Question

I have a text in input like :

the economist made a report to summarize what was done.

and i want to get in output :

economist : NOUN/Person
report : NOUN/object 

So, i want to determine from a NOUN if it is a person or object (like semantic classification)

I think Named Entity Recognition is what you are looking for. Take a look at the NLTK doc: https://www.nltk.org/book/ch07.html
