Automatic Rule Refinement for Information Extraction
Summary: Uses data-provenance lineage techniques to guide automatic refinement of rule-based information extraction. Given labeled correct/incorrect extractions, it produces a ranked list of rule modifications for expert refinement; implemented in SystemT and demonstrated effective improvement.
