Information extraction (IE) is a new technology enabling relevant
content to be extracted from textual information available
electronically. IE essentially builds on natural language processing
and computational linguistics, but it is also closely related to the
well established area of information retrieval and involves
learning. In concert with other promising intelligent information
processing technologies like data mining, intelligent data analysis,
text summarization, and information agents, IE plays a crucial role in
dealing with the vast amounts of information accessible
electronically, for example from the Internet. The book is based on
the Second International School on Information Extraction, SCIE-99,
held in Frascati near Rome, Italy in June/July 1999.
 
Keywords: information retrieval, digital libraries, knowledge extraction,
 information extraction systems, content summarizing, inference 
 
Table of Contents:
