Traditional approaches to the problem of extracting data from texts have emphasized hand-crafted linguistic knowledge. In contrast, BBN's PLUM system (Probabilistic Language Understanding Model) was developed as part of an ARPA-funded research effort on integrating probabilistic language models with more traditional linguistic techniques. Our research and development goals are: * more rapid development of new applications, * the ability to train (and re-train) systems based on user markings of correct ...
Traditional approaches to the problem of extracting data from texts have emphasized hand-crafted linguistic knowledge In contrast, BBN's PLUM system (Probabilistic Language Understanding Model) was developed as part of an ARPA-funded research effort on integrating probabilistic language models with more traditional linguistic techniques. Our research and development goals are: * Achieving high performance in objective evaluations, such as the Tipster evaluations. * Reducing human effort in porting the natural language ...
