UMass/Hughes TIPSTER project on extraction from text
Wendy G. Lehnert, Charles P. Dolan · 1993
The primary goal of our effort is the development of robust and portable language processing capabilities and information extraction applications. Our system is based on a sentence analysis technique called selective concept extraction. Having demonstrated the general viability of this technique in previous evaluations [Lehnert, et al. 1992], we are now concentrating on the practicality of our technology by creating trainable system components to replace hand-coded data and manually-engineered software.
