Automatic segmentation of text into structured records

Summary: Automatic segmentation of unformatted text into structured records; datamold learns structure from a small seed set. Extends HMMs with multi-source cues (sequence, length, vocabulary, external dictionary) for robust address extraction; 90% Asian, 99% US accuracy, beating rule-based IE.
