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.
