Wayne State University: description of the UNO natural language processing system as used for MUC-6

چکیده
The UNO natural language processing (NLP) system implements a Boolean algebra computational model o f natural language [Iwadska, 1992] [Iwanska, 1993] [Iwanska, 1994] [Iwanska, 1996b] and reflects our researc h hypothesis that natural language is a very expressive, yet computationally tractable knowledge representation and reasoning system with its own representational and inferential machinery . One of our goals is t o experimentally demonstrate that an NLP system that closely parallels the representational and inferentia l characteristics of natural language allows one to achieve an in-depth processing (eg ., querring automaticall y from texts created knowledge bases or entity classification), with close-to-real-time, high-recall-and-precisio n performance .

University of Maryland/ConQuest: description of the ICTOAN system as used for MUC-4
The ICTOAN system is a natural language processing system developed jointly by ConQuest, Inc . and the University of Maryland Baltimore County. The system was written from scratch during the first five months of 1992 using an estimated eight person-months of labor . The template generation routines were reused from our MUC-3 system [1], providing leverage of perhaps one person-month . Adaptatio...

The University of She eld NLP group took part in MUC-7 using the LaSIE-II system, an evolution of the LaSIE (Large Scale Information Extraction) system rst created for participation in MUC-6 [9] and part of a larger research e ort into information extraction underway in our group. LaSIE-II was used to carry out all ve of the MUC-7 tasks and was, in fact, the only system to take part in all of t...

Portions of the American University in Cairo's MUC-7 system, MUC7-Plink, have participated in every Message Understanding Competition since MUC-4. The Plink parser was developed at the University of Michigan where it formed the core of the systems entered in MUC-4 [2] and MUC-5 [1]. Recently, the Plink parser was added to GATE [6] to facilitate interaction between language processing modules. M...
متن کاملDescription of the UMass system as used for MUC-6
Information extraction research at the University of Massachusetts is based on portable, trainable language processing components. Some components are more effective than others, some have been under development longer than others, but in all cases, we are working to eliminate manual knowledge engineering. Although UMass has participated in previous MUC evaluations, all of our information extra...

The LaSIE (Large Scale Information Extraction) system has been developed at the University of Sheffiel d as part of an ongoing research effort into information extraction and, more generally, natural languag e engineering . LaSIE is a single, integrated system that builds up a unified model of a text which is then used t o produce outputs for all four of the MUC-6 tasks . Of course this model m...
