Information Extraction
Information Extraction (IE) is a shallow form of text understanding that extracts substrings about prespecified types of entities or relationships from documents and web pages. Our work has focused on machine learning methods that induce information extractors from manually labeled training examples. Our recent work has focussed on IE for bioinformatics.

The RISE web site is a useful general information resource on IE.
