Morpho-syntactic Parsing for a Text Mining Environment: An NP Recognition Model for Knowledge Visualization and Information Retrieval

摘要

Sidhom and Hassoun discuss the crucial role of NLP tools in Knowledge Extraction and Management as well as in the design of Information Retrieval Systems. The authors focus more specifically on the morpho-syntactic issues by describing their morpho-syntactic analysis platform, which has been implemented to cover the automatic indexing and information retrieval topics. To this end they implemented the Cascaded "Augmented Transition Network (ATM)". They used this formalism in order to analyse French text descriptions of Multimedia documents. An implementation of an ATN parsing automaton is briefly described. The Platform in its logical operation is considered as an investigative tool towards the knowledge organization (based on an NP recognition model) and management of multiform e-documents (text, multimedia, audio, image) using their text descriptions.
