A comparison of statistical and rule-induction learners for automatic tagging of time expressions in english (2008)

Jordi Poveda, Mihai Surdeanu, Jordi Turmo

Proper recognition and handling of temporal information contained in a text is key to understanding the flow of events depicted in the text and their accompanying circumstances. Consequently, time...

Alias assignment in information extraction (2007)

Sapena, Emili, Turmo, Jordi, Padró Cirera, Lluís

This paper presents a general method for alias assignment task in information extraction. We compared two approaches to face the problem and learn a classifier. The first one quantifies a global...

A hybrid approach for the acquisition of information extraction patterns (2006)

Mihai Surdeanu, Jordi Turmo, Alicia Ageno

In this paper we present a hybrid approach for the acquisition of syntacticosemantic patterns from raw text. Our approach co-trains a decision list learner whose feature space covers the set of all...

Semantic role labeling using complete syntactic analysis (2005)

Mihai Surdeanu, Jordi Turmo

In this paper we introduce a semantic role labeling system constructed on top of the full syntactic analysis of text. The labeling problem is modeled using a rich set of lexical, syntactic, and...

Automatically extracting Translation Links using a wide coverage semantic taxonomy (1995)

German Rigau, Horacio Rodríguez, Jordi Turmo

TGE (Tlink Generator Environment) is a system for semi-automatically extracting translation links. The system was developed within the ACQUILEX II 2 project as a tool for supporting the construction...
