چکیده

Rule-based information extraction is an important approach for processing the increasingly available amount of unstructured data. The manual creation of rule-based applications is a time-consuming and tedious task, which requires qualified knowledge engineers. The costs of this process can be reduced by providing a suitable rule language and extensive tooling support. This paper presents UIMA Ruta, a tool for rule-based information extraction and text processing applications. The system was designed with focus on rapid development. The rule language and its matching paradigm facilitate the quick specification of comprehensible extraction knowledge. They support a compact representation while still providing a high level of expressiveness. These advantages are supplemented by the development environment UIMA Ruta Workbench. It provides, in addition to extensive editing support, essential assistance for explanation of rule execution, introspection, automatic validation, and rule induction. UIMA Ruta is a useful tool for academia and industry due to its open source license. We compare UIMA Ruta to related rule-based systems especially concerning the compactness of the rule representation, the expressiveness, and the provided tooling support. The competitiveness of the runtime performance is shown in relation to a popular and freelyavailable system. A selection of case studies implemented with UIMA Ruta illustrates the usefulness of the system in real-world scenarios.

Combination of Rule-based and Machine Learning for Biomedical Event Extraction

This paper describes the method for biomedical event extraction. The biomedical events occurs in relative to biomedical concepts (objects) as proteins, genes. In this work, we try a hybrid method to identify given event types relative to a given set of proteins in biomedical text. The approach combines rule-based and machine learning. A Set of rules is built based on event triggers, and a set o...
