FUSE: Filesystem in Userspace. Ephyra.info. Lucene - Apache Lucene Core. Apache LuceneTM is a high-performance, full-featured text search engine library written entirely in Java.

Lucene - Apache Lucene Core

It is a technology suitable for nearly any application that requires full-text search, especially cross-platform. Apache Lucene is an open source project available for free download. Please use the links on the right to access Lucene. Lucene offers powerful features through a simple API: Tagged and Cleaned Wikipedia (TC Wikipedia) and its Ngram. Message Understanding Conference. The Message Understanding Conferences (MUC) were initiated and financed by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) to encourage the development of new and better methods of information extraction.

Message Understanding Conference

The character of this competition—many concurrent research teams competing against one another—required the development of standards for evaluation, e.g. the adoption of metrics like precision and recall. Topics and Exercises[edit] Only for the first conference (MUC-1) could the participant choose the output format for the extracted information. From the second conference the output format, by which the participants' systems would be evaluated, was prescribed. Automatic Content Extraction. Automatic Content Extraction (ACE) is a program for developing advanced Information extraction technologies.

Automatic Content Extraction

Given a text in natural language, the ACE challenge is to detect: entities mentioned in the text, such as: persons, organizations, locations, facilities, weapons, vehicles, and geo-political entities.relations between entities, such as: person A is the manager of company B. Text Analysis Conference (TAC) The Text Analysis Conference (TAC) is a series of evaluation workshops organized to encourage research in Natural Language Processing and related applications, by providing a large test collection, common evaluation procedures, and a forum for organizations to share their results.

Text Analysis Conference (TAC)

TAC comprises sets of tasks known as "tracks," each of which focuses on a particular subproblem of NLP. Information extraction. Information extraction (IE) is the task of automatically extracting structured information from unstructured and/or semi-structured machine-readable documents.

Information extraction

In most of the cases this activity concerns processing human language texts by means of natural language processing (NLP). Recent activities in multimedia document processing like automatic annotation and content extraction out of images/audio/video could be seen as information extraction. Information retrieval. Information retrieval is the activity of obtaining information resources relevant to an information need from a collection of information resources.

Information retrieval

Searches can be based on metadata or on full-text (or other content-based) indexing. Automated information retrieval systems are used to reduce what has been called "information overload". Many universities and public libraries use IR systems to provide access to books, journals and other documents. Web search engines are the most visible IR applications. Overview[edit] An information retrieval process begins when a user enters a query into the system. An object is an entity that is represented by information in a database. Most IR systems compute a numeric score on how well each object in the database matches the query, and rank the objects according to this value. History[edit] Model types[edit] For effectively retrieving relevant documents by IR strategies, the documents are typically transformed into a suitable representation.

Recall[edit] Demo Systems — Ling573, Spring Qtr. 2010. Named Entity Demo. About the Named Entity Demo Named entity recognition finds mentions of things in text.

Named Entity Demo

The interface in LingPipe provides character offset representations as chunkings. Entity Extractor SDK Finds People, Places, and Organizations in Text. Big Text represents the vast majority of the world’s big data.

Entity Extractor SDK Finds People, Places, and Organizations in Text

Lying hidden within that text is extremely valuable information, unable to be accessed unless read manually—a challenge compounded when foreign languages are involved. This hidden data often comes in the form of entities—names, places, dates, and other words and phrases that establish the real meaning in the text.

Rosette® Entity Extractor (REX) instantly scans through huge volumes of multilingual, unstructured text and tags key data. REX uses multiple approaches to achieve the most accurate results: advanced statistical modeling, customizable rules, and pre-defined lists. As linguistics experts with deep understanding at the intersection of language and technology, Basis Technology continually improves the Rosette product family with language additions, feature updates, and the latest innovations from the academic world.

GitSetup < Main < TWiki. Git repositories allow for many types of workflows, centralized or decentralized. Before creating your repo, decide which steps to follow: Create A Local Repository If you will be working primarily on a local machine, you may simply create a git repo by using cd to change to the directory you wish to place under version control, then typing: git init.
