Paramax Systems Corporation: description of the Paramax system used for MUC-4

چکیده
The Paramax MUC-4 system's architecture consists of three main processing components . An initial preprocessing component generates a set of CLIPS facts in which words, sentences, and paragraphs are identified . This component also computes the likelihood of relevant types of events being described in a given text . A core, rule-based analysis component implemented in CLIPS extracts whatever information can be inferred on the basis of the CLIPS facts generated by the preprocessor and the system's application specific rule base . Finally, a third, template generation component sorts through all of the facts that have been inferred, merging descriptions of identical events and generating collections of templates in a n appropriate format .

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 ...

1. I N T R O D U C T I O N The basic language understanding technology in the Paramax language understanding architecture has been designed to be both independent of the language input inodality (e.g. spoken input vs. scanned OCR input) as we]] as independent of the end application (e.g. command and control vs. data extraction). This architecture is shown in Figure 1. I . . . . . . . . . . . . ...
متن کاملComparison of the HemoCue beta-glucose photometer and reflotron for open heart surgery.
The HemoCue beta-glucose photometer (Angelholm, Sweden) was evaluated for use in monitoring blood glucose in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients undergoing open heart surgery. Because occasional discrepancies were noted in patients with low total proteins when the Reflotron (Boehringer Mannheim, Indianapolis, IN) was used for this purpose, the effects of protein and hematocrit on glucose res...
متن کاملThe KERNEL Text Understanding System
This article describes KERNEL, a text understanding system developed at the Unisys Center for Advanced Information Technology. KERNEL's design is motivated by the need to make complex interactions possible among system modules, and to control the amount of reasoning done by those modules. We will explain how Kernel's architecture meets these needs, and how the architectures of similar systems c...

Reducing unnecessary and redundant system development through reuse is a key element in the Department of Defense's Software Technology Strategy to reduce the annual DoD software cost. The STARS 1 (Software Technology for Adaptable, Reliable Systems) program is implementing this strategy with an approach that combines reuse with other elements including the identiication of software processes a...
