Abstract

The techniques of information retrieval and information extraction are complementary, but to date there has been little work aimed at integrating the two. We describe how each of these techniques contributes to the process of transferring information from generator to user, summarise the issues which must be addressed if they are to work together, and report the results of some preliminary experiments on coupling them.
