Weight Annotation in Information Extraction

Integrated Annotation For Biomedical Information Extraction

We describe an approach to two areas of biomedical information extraction, drug development and cancer genomics. We have developed a framework which includes corpus annotation integrated at multiple levels: a Treebank containing syntactic structure, a Propbank containing predicate-argument structure, and annotation of entities and relations among the entities. Crucial to this approach is the pr...

Document Annotation via Adaptive Information Extraction

Annotation for Information Extraction from Mammography Reports

Inter and intra-observer variability in mammographic interpretation is a challenging problem, and decision support systems (DSS) may be helpful to reduce variation in practice. Since radiology reports are created as unstructured text reports, Natural language processing (NLP) techniques are needed to extract structured information from reports in order to provide the inputs to DSS. Before creat...

User-System Cooperation in Document Annotation Based on Information Extraction

The process of document annotation for the Semantic Web is complex and time consuming, as it requires a great deal of manual annotation. Information extraction from texts (IE) is a technology used by some very recent systems for reducing the burden of annotation. The integration of IE systems in annotation tools is quite a new development and there is still the necessity of thinking the impact ...

Next Generation Annotation Interfaces for Adaptive Information Extraction

The evolution of the Internet into the largest existent digital library is bringing about new challenges. One of the biggest problems is the location of information. The most promising approach seems to be performing searches semantically however this cannot work without semantically annotated documents. These documents are few and the manual annotation process to make them is both time consumi...
