The TIPSTER/SHOGUN project
Paul S. Jacobs · 1994
TIPSTER/SHOGUN, part of the ARPA TIPSTER Text (Phase I) program, was led by GE Corporate Research and Development, with Carnegie Mellon University and Martin Marietta Management and Data Systems (formerly GE Aerospace). The project ended at the beginning of 1994, with TIPSTER Phase II expected to begin in March. The TIPSTER/SHOGUN system is thus the end result of a two-year research effort. The project's main goals were: (1) to develop algorithms that would advance the state of the art in coverage and accuracy in data extraction, and (2) to demonstrate high performance and adaptability across languages and domains.
