== Project description ==

Motivations:
 * not many efforts on IE on Polish texts in contrast to many existing applications for many languages,
 * existing IE tools could not be directly used for processing Polish.

Goals:
 * adapting chosen IE tools for processing Polish,
 * collecting some linguistic resources for IE.

Activities:
 * adapting IE platforms SProUT and (recently) GATE for tokenization and morphological analysis of Polish texts,
 * collecting resourses and IE grammars for named entities recognition (NER) in Polish texts,
 * ruled based IE experiments in a selected domain (medical texts),
 * testing methods of terminology extraction on Polish data.
