SAEL-RMR

A Synergetic Approach to Extraction, Learning and Reasoning for Machine Reading

Aims

The automated discovery of meaningful knowledge in free text is a current research topic in the text mining and natural language processing fields. It is often referred to as “Machine Reading”. The aim of the fundamental research project SAEL-RMR is to find a synergy between information extraction from text, reasoning and machine learning. The application domain is the health domain.

The tasks of LIIR regard advanced information extraction techniques that combine extraction and inferencing.

Partners

Prof. Jesse Davis of KU Leuven coordinates this project. The other partner is the Computational Web Intelligence group of Ghent University (Prof. Martine De Cock, Dr. Steven Schockaert).

Results

First experiments were carried out with regard to relation detection in biomedical texts.
