Evaluation of information retrieval and text mining tools on automatic named entity extraction. Intelligence and security informatics. Proceedings.
We will report evaluation of Automatic Named Entity Extraction feature of IR tools on Dutch, French, and English text. The aim is to analyze the competency of off-the-shelf information extraction tools in recognizing entity types including person, organization, location, vehicle, time, & currency from unstructured text. Within such an evaluation one can compare the effectiveness of different approaches for identifying named entities.
Using Neural Networks for Relation Extraction from Biomedical Literature
Using different sources of information to support automated extracting of
relations between biomedical concepts contributes to the development of our
understanding of biological systems. The primary comprehensive source of these
relations is biomedical literature. Several relation extraction approaches have
been proposed to identify relations between concepts in biomedical literature,
namely, using neural networks algorithms. The use of multichannel architectures
composed of multiple data representations, as in deep neural networks, is
leading to state-of-the-art results. The right combination of data
representations can eventually lead us to even higher evaluation scores in
relation extraction tasks. Thus, biomedical ontologies play a fundamental role
by providing semantic and ancestry information about an entity. The
incorporation of biomedical ontologies has already been proved to enhance
previous state-of-the-art results.Comment: Artificial Neural Networks book (Springer) - Chapter 1
BlogForever D2.6: Data Extraction Methodology
This report outlines an inquiry into the area of web data extraction, conducted within the context of blog preservation. The report reviews theoretical advances and practical developments for implementing data extraction. The inquiry is extended through an experiment that demonstrates the effectiveness and feasibility of implementing some of the suggested approaches. More specifically, the report discusses an approach based on unsupervised machine learning that employs the RSS feeds and HTML representations of blogs. It outlines the possibilities of extracting semantics available in blogs and demonstrates the benefits of exploiting available standards such as microformats and microdata. The report proceeds to propose a methodology for extracting and processing blog data to further inform the design and development of the BlogForever platform
Information extraction from multimedia web documents: an open-source platform and testbed
The LivingKnowledge project aimed to enhance the current state of the art in search, retrieval and knowledge management on the web by advancing the use of sentiment and opinion analysis within multimedia applications. To achieve this aim, a diverse set of novel and complementary analysis techniques have been integrated into a single, but extensible software platform on which such applications can be built. The platform combines state-of-the-art techniques for extracting facts, opinions and sentiment from multimedia documents, and unlike earlier platforms, it exploits both visual and textual techniques to support multimedia information retrieval. Foreseeing the usefulness of this software in the wider community, the platform has been made generally available as an open-source project. This paper describes the platform design, gives an overview of the analysis algorithms integrated into the system and describes two applications that utilise the system for multimedia information retrieval
