CALL FOR PAPERS
A workshop entitled "Lexicon driven Information Extraction" will be held in
Frascati, near Roma, in conjunction with the International School on
Information
Extraction SCIE97.
Selected papers from the proceedings of the workshop will be considered for
publication as a volume in the Studies in NLP Series published by Cambridge
University Press
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Linguistic techniques and theories are playing a strong role in the
emerging technology of information extraction (IE), which is not to be
confused with the more mature technology of Information Retrieval,
which selects a relevant subset of documents from a larger set. IE
extracts information from the text of documents, normally from
available electronic sources such as news wires.The technology is
now coming on to the marketnd is of great interest to information end-user
industries of all kinds, especially finance companies, banks, publishers
as well as governments.
The algorithms to do IE are dependent on a range of forms of linguistic
information-- morphological, syntactic and semantic--in addition to a
domain model,
but this information (especially semantic and domain knowledge) is often
manually built "ad hoc" for specific sublanguages and knowledge extraction
tasks.
The workshop especially welcomes contributions that address the problem of
defining automatic techniques to push the boundaries of IE technology
from its present template and domain-limited technolgy.
Areas of interest are: customizing template construction, adapting lexicons to
domains, acquisition of domain-dependent knowledge for IE
(new words, new senses of words, new constructions).
