Mining Tables from Large Scale HTML Texts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Table is a very common presentation scheme, but few papers touch on table extraction in text data mining. This paper focuses on mining tables from large-scale HTML texts. Table filtering, recognition, interpretation, and presentation are discussed. Heuristic rules and cell similarities are employed to identify tables. The F-measure of table recognition is 86.50%. We also propose an algorithm to capture attribute-value relationships among table cells. Finally, more structured data is extracted and presented.

Detecting Tables in HTML Documents
Table is a commonly used presentation scheme, especially for describing relational information. Table understanding on the web has many potential applications including web mining, knowledge management, and web content summarization and delivery to narrow-bandwidth devices. Although in HTML documents tables are generally marked as elements, often the tag is used liberally to ach...
متن کاملPipelines for Ad-hoc Large-scale Text Mining
Pipelines for Ad-hoc Large-scale Text Mining Today’s web search and big data analytics applications aim to address information needs (typically given in the form of search queries) ad-hoc on large numbers of texts. In order to directly return relevant information instead of only returning potentially relevant texts, these applications have begun to employ text mining. The term text mining cover...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Knowledge Acquisition from Botanical Texts
Free text botanical descriptions contained in printed floras can provide a wealth of valuable scientific information. In spite of this richness, these texts have seldom been analyzed on a large scale using NLP techniques. To fill this gap, we describe how we managed to extract a set of terminological resources by parsing a large corpus of botanical texts. The tools and techniques used are prese...
متن کاملUnderstanding Tables on the Web
The Web contains a wealth of information, and a key challenge is to make this information machine processable. Because natural language understanding at web scale remains difficult and costly at present, in this paper, we focus our attention on understanding well-structured html tables on the Web. From 0.3 billion Web documents, we obtain 1.95 billion tables, and 0.5-1% of these contain meaning...
متن کاملThe potential of text mining in data integration and network biology for plant research: a case study on Arabidopsis.
Despite the availability of various data repositories for plant research, a wealth of information currently remains hidden within the biomolecular literature. Text mining provides the necessary means to retrieve these data through automated processing of texts. However, only recently has advanced text mining methodology been implemented with sufficient computational power to process texts at a ...
