A pilot investigation of information extraction in the semantic annotation of archaeological reports

Semantic Annotation for Indexing Archaeological Context: A Prototype Development and Evaluation

The paper discusses the process of developing Semantic Annotations, a form of metadata for assigning conceptual entities to textual instances, in this case archaeological grey literature. The use of Information Extraction (IE), a Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique is central to the annotation process. The paper explores the use of Ontology Oriented Information Extraction (OOIE) methods...

Presenting a method for extracting structured domain-dependent information from Farsi Web pages

Extracting structured information about entities from web texts is an important task in web mining, natural language processing, and information extraction. Information extraction is useful in many applications including search engines, question-answering systems, recommender systems, machine translation, etc. An information extraction system aims to identify the entities from the text and extr...

A Pilot Study on the Semantic Classification of Two German Prepositions: Combining Monolingual and Multilingual Evidence

This paper reports on the annotation and maximum-entropy modeling of the semantics of two German prepositions, mit (‘with’) and auf (‘on’). 500 occurrences of each preposition were sampled from a treebank and annotated with syntactosemantic classes by two annotators. The classification is guided by a perspective of information extraction, relies on linguistic tests and aims at the separation of...

Some Remarks on Automatic Semantic Annotation of a Medical Corpus

In this paper we present arguments that elaborating a rule based information extraction system is a good starting point for obtaining a semantic annotated corpus of medical data. Our claim is supported by evaluation results of the automatic annotation of a corpus containing hospital discharge reports of diabetic patients.
