Abstract

We discuss robustness in LE systems from the perspective of engineering, and the predictability of both outputs and construction process that this entails. We present an architectural system that contributes to engineering robustness and low-overhead systems development (GATE, a General Architecture for Text Engineering). To verify our ideas we present results from the development of a multi-purpose cross-genre Named Entity recognition system. This system aims be robust across diverse input types, and to reduce the need for costly and timeconsuming adaptation of systems to new applications, with its capability to process texts from widely differing domains and genres.
