Supporting Information Extraction from Visual Documents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Visual Information Extraction (VIE) is a technique that enables users to perform information extraction from visual documents driven by the visual appearance and the spatial relations occurring among the elements in the document. In particular, the extractions are expressed through a query language similar to the well known SQL. To further reduce the human effort in the extraction task, in this paper we present a fully formalized assistance mechanism that helps users in the interactive formulation of the queries.

متن کاملContextual Information Retrieval using Concept Chain Graphs
This paper discusses concept chain graphs, a new framework for information retrieval that supports sophisticated contextual queries. Concept chain graphs subsume traditional information retrieval models, but extend them by supporting (i) more sophisticated content representation reflecting information extraction output, and (ii) more sophisticated retrieval algorithms including probabilistic gr...
متن کاملEvent characterization for information extraction from business-based technical documents
Event identification plays a crucial role in several natural language processing applications such as information extraction, question answering, and text analysis. In this paper, we describe a novel approach for analyzing events, their distribution, and the event mentions from a corpus of unlabeled business-based technical documents—a specific genre. In order to infer such mentions, we analyze...
