Abstract

This topic session focussed on a variety of issues in evaluation (three presentations) and extraction (one presentation). For the extraction presentation, Tsuyoshi Kitani, a visiting researcher at the Center for Machine Translation at Carnegie-Mellon University gave a presention entitled "Overview of TEXTRACT Template-Filling Solutions". This talk gave an overview of TEXTRACT, which processes articles in the Japanese joint venture and microelectronics domains. Although TEXTRACT was developed at CMU as an optional system of the GE-CMU SHOGUN system, the systems share no code beyond the MAJESTY morphological analyzer, and some of the knowledge in TEXTRACT was used to develop SHOGUN.
