چکیده
The data extraction system submitted by Paramax for evaluation in MUC-4 is a new implementatio n written in CLIPS, a forward-chaining system developed and maintained by NAS A 's Johnson Space Center [1] . Using CLIPS as a forward-chaining engine is desirable because it runs on a wide range of machine s (including Sun Sparc stations, Apple Mac IIs, and PCs), it is available at little or no cost from th e government, it is fast, and it comes with good documentation and support services.

متن کاملText filtering in MUC-3 and MUC-4
One of the changes from the Third (MUC-3) to the Fourth (MUC-4) Message Understanding Conference was the emergence of text filtering as an explicit topic of discussion. In this paper we examine text filtering in MUC systems with three goals in mind. First, we clarify the difference between two uses of the term ~text filtering ~ in the context of data extraction systems, and put these phenomena ...
