A full week of learning GATE text mining/information extraction language processing and talks. Session wiki
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 - mathmatically 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
To investigate
- markupAware for HTML/XML (keeps tags in editor)
- AnnotationStack
- Advanced Options
