Abstract

SRA used a language-independent, domain-independent, multipurpose text understanding system as the core of the MUC-5 system for extraction from English and Japanese joint venture texts. SRA's NLP core system, SOLOMON, has been under development since 1986. It has been used for a variety of domains, and was aimed from the start to be language-independent, domain-independent, and application-independent. More recently, SOLOMON has been extended to be multilingual, beginning with Spanish in 1990 and Japanese in 1991. The Spanish-Japanese text understanding system that uses SOLOMON was developed for a domain very different from the MUC-5 joint venture domain (cf. Aone, et al. [2]).
