GATE is written in Java and very Java centric. This makes it portable, fast, and heavyweight. A programming library is available. It's 14 years old and has many users and contributors.

Using GATE developer

  • GATE developer is used to process sets of Language Resources in Corpus using Processing Resources. They are typically saved to a serialized Datastore.
  • ANNIE, VG (verb group) processors.
  • Preserve formatting embeds tags in HTML or XML.
    • Different strengths using GATE's graph (node/offset) based XML vs. preserved formatting (original xml/html)

Information Extraction

  • IR - retrieve docs
  • IE - retreive structured data
  • Knowledge Engineering - rule based
  • Learning Systems - statistical

Old Bailey IE project - old english (Online)

  • POS - assigned in Token (noun, verb, etc)
  • Gazateer - gotcha, have to set initialization parameter listsURL before it's

loaded. Must also "save and reinitialize."

  • Gazeteer creates Lookups, then transducer creaties named entities
  • Then orthomatcher (spelling features in common) coreference associates those
  • Annotation Key sets and annotation comparing
    • Need setToKeep key in Document Reset for any pre annotated texts

Evaluation / Metrics

  • Evaluation metric - mathematically against human annotated
  • Scoring - performance measures for annotation types
  • Result types - Correct, missing, spurious, partially correct (overlapped)
  • Tools > Annotations Diff - comparing human vs machine annotation
  • Corpus > Corpus quality assurance - compare by type
  • (B has to be the generated set)
  • Annotation set transfer (in tools) - transfer between docs in pipeline
    • useful for eg HTML that has boilerplate

Other notes

Lucene data store

  • Use <null> for default set
  • Go to Datastore for queries
    • eg {Person}({Token})+{Money}

GATE-lucene-person-money.png

To investigate

  • markupAware for HTML/XML (keeps tags in editor)
  • AnnotationStack
  • Advanced Options

JAPE

  • Rules based on tokens and lookups

To review, gotchas

  • Rule types : first takes only first match, excludes compound
    • a? b for "a b" will match "a b"
  • multiplexor tranducers
  • multi-constraint statements
  • macros
  • To reuse created annotations has to be a separate rule

To follow up

  • WebSphinx crawler CREOLE plugin

Conclusions

While it can do a lot out of the box and benefits from development time and breadth of connectivity, to be useful to more than patient specialists, it needs usability testing. A lot of things are inobvious and too domain specific that with a bit of work could be more broadly useful. Interaction could include a lot more immediate, useful and interesting looking displays. A web based version could have these features. However the team seems somewhat ambivalent about development. :)
