| Abstract | We present an experimental framework for Entity Mention Detection in which twodifferent classifiers are combined to exploit Data Redundancy attained throughthe annotation of a large text corpus, as well as a number of Patternsextracted automatically from the same corpus. In order to recognize propername, nominal, and pronominal mentions we not only exploit the informationgiven by mentions recognized within the corpus being annotated, but also givenby mentions occurring in an external and unannotated corpus. The system wasfirst evaluated in the Evalita 2009 evaluation campaign obtaining good results.The current version is being used in a number of applications: on the one hand,it is used in the LiveMemories project, which aims at scaling up contentextraction techniques towards very large scale extraction from multimediasources. On the other hand, it is used to annotate corpora, such as ItalianWikipedia, thus providing easy access to syntactic and semantic annotation forboth the Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval communities.Moreover a web service version of the system is available and the system isgoing to be integrated into the TextPro suite of NLP tools. |
