Definition

  • The goal of information extraction (IE) is to build systems that find and link relevant information from natural language text ignoring irrelevant information. The information of interest is typically pre-specified in form of uninstantiated frame-like structures also called templates. The templates are domain and task specific. The major task of an IE-system is then the identification of the relevant parts of the text which are used to fill a template's slots.
