Learning to "Read Between the Lines" using Bayesian Logic Programs
Most information extraction (IE) systems identify facts that are explicitly stated in text. However, in natural language, some facts are implicit, and identifying them requires â€...

Knowledge-Based Weak Supervision for Information Extraction of Overlapping Relations
Information extraction (IE) holds the promise of generating a large-scale knowledge base from the Web’s natural language text. Knowledge-based weak supervision, using structured...

A Semantic Network Approach to Measuring Relatedness
Humans are very good at judging the strength of relationships between two terms, a task which, if it can be automated, would be useful in a range of applications. Systems attempti...

Index structures for efficiently searching natural language text
Many existing indexes on text work at the document granularity and are not effective in answering the class of queries where the desired answer is only a term or a phrase. In this...

On-line Approximate String Matching in Natural Language
We consider approximate pattern matching in natural language text. We use the words of the text as the alphabet, instead of the characters as in traditional string matching approac...

Information Extraction and Semantic Constraints
We consider the problem of extracting specified types of information from natural language text. To properly analyze the text, we wish to apply semantic (selectional) constraints ...

(Almost) Automatic Semantic Feature Extraction from Technical Text
Acquisition of semantic information is necessary for proper understanding of natural language text. Such information is often domain-speclfic in nature and must be acquized from t...
