چکیده

A flexible, accurate, and cost-effective method of automatically extracting facts from lists in OCRed documents and inserting them into an ontology would help make those facts machine searchable, queryable, and linkable and expose their rich ontological interrelationships. To work well, such a process must be adaptable to variations in list format, tolerant of OCR errors, and careful in its selection of human guidance. We propose a wrapper-induction solution for information extraction that is specialized for lists in OCRed documents. In this approach, we induce a regular-expression grammar that can infer list structure and field labels from OCR text. We decrease the cost and improve the accuracy of this induction process using semi-supervised machine learning and active learning, allowing induction of a wrapper from a single hand-labeled instance per field per list. To further reduce cost, we use the wrappers learned from the semisupervised process to bootstrap an automatic (self-supervised) wrapper induction process for additional lists in the same domain. In both induction scenarios, we automatically map labeled text to a rich variety of ontologically structured facts. We evaluate our implementation in terms of annotation cost and extraction quality for lists in family history books.

بررسی هستان شناسی های توسعه یافته مبتنی بر اصول هستان شناسی های منبع باز زیست پزشکی

Background and Aim: Ontologies facilitate data integration, exchange, searching and querying. Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) Foundry is a solution for creating reference ontologies. In this foundry, the design of ontologies is based on established principles which allow for their interactions as a single system. The purpose of this study is to determine the main features of ontologies develop...
