Abstract

NEC Corporation has had years of experience in natural language processing and machine translation[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], and currently markets commercial natural language processing systems. Utilizing dictionaries and parsing engines we have already had, we have developed the VENIEX System (VENus for Information EXtraction) as used for MUC-5 in only three months. Our method is to apply both domain-specific keyword-based analysis and full sentential parsing with general grammar[6, 7]. The keyword dictionary of VENIEX contains about thirty thousand entries, whose semantic structures are sub_ME_Capability frame, and the parsing and discourse processing are controlled with the information given in this semantic structure of keywords. The resulting scores of VENIEX for formal run texts were from 0.7181 (minimum) to 0.7548 (maximum) in Richness-Normalized Error and 48.33 in F-MEASURES (P&R).
