Cascaded Information Synthesis for Timeline Construction
Gideon Mann · 2006
This paper presents a method for in-crementally constructing CEO succession timelines via a cascade of minimally su-pervised information synthesis compo-nents. Results from multiple documents are combined using a CRF fusion method. The system demonstrates that with min-imal training on the target domain, the presence of redundant information allows for the synthesis of networks of interre-lated facts from text. 1
