AbstractText mining and information extraction for the medical domain has focused on scientific text generated by researchers. However, their access to individual patient experiences or patient-doctor interactions is limited. On …...

AbstractWe study a new problem setting of information extraction (IE), referred to as text-to-table. In text-to-table, given a text, one creates a table or several tables expressing the main content …...

AbstractInformation extraction suffers from its varying targets, heterogeneous structures, and demand-specific schemas. In this paper, we propose a unified text-to-structure generation framework, namely UIE, which can universally model different IE …...

Abstract“Entity relation extraction, as a core task of information extraction, aims to predict the relation ofentity pairs identified by text, and its research results are applied to various fields. To …...

AbstractLarge language models (LLMs) pre-trained on massive corpora have demonstrated impressive few-shot learning ability on many NLP tasks. A common practice is to recast the task into a text-to-text format …...

AbstractA crucial component in the curation of KB for a scientific domain (e.g., materials science, food & nutrition, fuels) is information extraction from tables in the domain’s published research articles. …...

AbstractInformation extraction (IE) and summarization are closely related, both tasked with presenting a subset of the information contained in a natural language text. However, while IE extracts structural representations, summarization …...

AbstractRelationship extraction from unstructured data remains one of the most challenging tasks in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). The complexity of relationship extraction arises from the need to …...

AbstractUniversal Information Extraction (UIE) has been introduced as a unified framework for various Information Extraction (IE) tasks and has achieved widespread success. Despite this, UIE models have limitations. For example, …...

This paper describes the ROCLING-2023 shared task for Chinese multi-genre named entity recognition in the healthcare domain, including task description, data preparation, performance metrics, and evaluation results. Among eight registered …...

AbstractWhat are the events involved in a pandemic outbreak? What steps should be taken when planning a wedding? The answers to these questions can be found by collecting many documents …...
