Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The automatic induction of substantial, accurate, grammars for the real structures of texts is an essential sub-component within the important general task of Information Extraction (IE): the large-scale extraction of information from text for users, filtered to their personal needs. We propose an original method for such induction that combines two different methodologies: one using statistical n-grams and one that extracts grammars directly from tree-banks. This basic research has been pump-primed by two Japanese corporations with substantial UK plants and manufacturing capacity.
