Information Extraction: IE refers to structured processing of the information contained in the text, which is converted into the same form of organization as a table. The input information extraction system outputs original text and fixed format information points. Information Points are extracted from various documents and then integrated in a unified manner. This is the main task of information extraction .........

Abstract: The Research of Information Extraction aims to provide more powerful information acquisition tools for people to cope with the severe challenges brought by information explosion. Unlike information retrieval, Information Extraction directly extracts fact information from natural language texts. Over the past decade, information extraction has gradually evolved into an important branch in the field of natural language processing. Its unique development track is promoting the development of research through systematic and large-scale quantitative evaluation, some successful revelations, such as the effectiveness of some analysis technologies and the necessity of rapid NLP system development, have greatly promoted the development of natural language processing research, it promotes the close integration of NLP research and application. Review the history of Information Extraction Research and summarize the current situation of Information Extraction Research, which will help the research work forward.
10. class-based language modeling for named entity identification (draft) (Click to download)
Jian sun, Ming Zhou, Jianfeng Gao
(Accepted by Special Issue "Word Formation and Chinese language processing" of the International Journal of computational linguistics and Chinese Language Processing) Abstract: we address in this paper the problem of Chinese Named Entity (NE) identification using class-based language models (LM ). this study is concentrated on three kinds of NES that are most commonly used, namely, Personal Name (PER), location name (LOC) and Organization Name (org ). our main contributions are three-fold: (1) in our research, Chinese Word Segmentation and NE identification have been integrated into a uniied framework. it consists of several sub-models, each of which in turn may include other sub-models, leads to the overall model a hierarchical architecture. the class-based hierarchical lm not only extends tively captures the features of named entities, but also handles the data sparseness problem. (2) Modeling for NE abbreviation is put forward. our modeling-based method for NE abbreviation has significant advantages over rule-based ones. (3) In addition, we employ a two-level architecture for org model, so that the nested entities in organization names can be identified. when decoding, two-step strategy is adopted: Identifying per and loc; and identifying Org. the evaluation on a large, wide-coverage open-test data has empirically demonstrated that the class-based hierarchical language modeling, which integrates segmentation and NE identification, unifies the abbreviation modeling into one framework, has achieved competitive results of Chinese ne identification.

we consider here the problem of Chinese Named Entity (NE) identification using statistical language model (LM ). in this research, Word Segmentation and NE identification have been integrated into a uniied framework that consists of several class-based language models. we also adopt a hierarchical structure for one of the LMS so that the nested entities in organization names can be identified. the evaluation on a large Test Set shows consistent improvements. our experiments further demonstrate the improvement after seamlessly integrating with linguistic heuristic information, cache-based model and NE abbreviation identification.

The first half of this article will introduce the concepts related to the ontology, and the later part will introduce the application of the ontology in our system. In order to work with information extraction, some preliminary knowledge and statistical information are required. Therefore, we have constructed our own short text extraction and tagging tool for BBS. Therefore, ontology knowledge is constructed and presented in an intuitive way. Combined with the Ontology Inference Engine, our tagging tool can make tagging intelligent while tagging, and can extract and preview by referencing a packaged extraction algorithm.

Information extractors and classifiers operating on unrestricted, unstructured texts are an errorful source of large amounts of potentially useful information, especially when combined with a crawler which automatically augments the knowledge base from the world-wide web. at the same time, there is much structured information on the worldwideweb. wrapping the web-sites which provide this kind of information provide us with a second source of information; possiblyless up-to-date, but reliable as facts. we give a case study of combining information from these two kinds of sources in the context of learning facts about companies. we provide results of association rules, propositional and relational learning, which demonstrate that data-mining can help us improve our extractors, and that using information from two kinds of sources improves the reliability of data-mined rules.

in the last few years, several works in the literature have addressed the problem of data extraction from web pages. the importance of this problem derives from the fact that, once extracted, the data can be handled in a way similar to instances of a traditional database. the approaches proposed in the literature to address the problem of Web data extraction use techniques borrowed from areas such as natural language processing, ages and grammars, machine learning, information retrieval ,...
30. Toward semantic understanding | an approach based on information extraction Ontologies (click to download)
Information is ubiquitous, and we are ooded with more than we can process. somehow, we must rely less on visual processing, point-and-click navigation, and manual demo-making and more on computer sifting and organization of information and auto-mated negotiation and demo-making. A resolution of these problems requires software with semantic understanding | a grand challenge of our time. more participant ly, we must solve problems of automated interoperability, integration, and knowledge sharing, and we must build information agents and process agents that we can trust to give us the information we want and need and to negotiate on our behalf in harmony with our beliefs and goals. this paper pro ERS the use of information-extraction ontologies as an approach that may lead
To semantic understanding. Keywords: semantics, information extraction, high-precision classi cation, schema mapping, data inte-gration, semantic web, Agent communication, ontology, ontology generation.

34. Adaptive Information Extraction from text by rule induction and generalisation (click to download)
(LP) 2 is a covering algorithm for adaptive information extraction from text (IE ). it induces symbolic rules that insert SGML tags into texts by learning from examples found in a userdefined tagged corpus. training is saved med in two steps: initially a set of tagging rules is learned; then additional rules are induced to correct mistakes and impresponin tagging. induction is already med by bottom-up generalization of examples in the training corpus. shallow knowledge about Natural Language Processing (NLP) is used in the generalization process. the algorithm has a considerable success story. from a scientific point of view, experiments report excellent results with respect to the current state of the art on two publicly available within. from an application point of view, a successful industrial ie tool has been based on (LP) 2. real world applications have been developed and licenses have been released to external companies for building other applications. this paper presents (LP) 2, experimental results and applications, and discusses the role of shallow NLP in rule induction.
