The symposium on which this volume was based brought together approximately fifty scientists from a variety of backgrounds to discuss the rapidly-emerging set of competing technologies for exploiting a massive quantity of textual information. This group was challenged to explore new ways to take advantage of the power of on-line text. A billion words of text can be more generally useful than a few hundred logical rules, if advanced computation can extract useful information from streams of text and help find what is needed in the sea of available material. While the extraction task is a hot topic for the field of natural language processing and the retrieval task is a solid aspect in the field of information retrieval, these two disciplines came together at the symposium and have been cross-breeding more than ever.

The book is organized in three parts. The first group of papers describes the current set of natural language processing techniques used for interpreting and extracting information from quantities of text. The second group gives some of the historical perspective, methodology, and current practice of information retrieval work; the third covers both current and emerging applications of these techniques. This collection of readings should give students and scientists alike a good idea of the current techniques as well as a general concept of how to go about developing and testing systems to handle volumes of text.

Reviews for Text-based intelligent Systems: Current Research and Practice in information Extraction and Retrieval

"""...[the papers] provide a very clear picture of the state of the art of text processing today....It is a well rounded collection demonstrating a variety of approaches....the authors seem to have a clear understanding of the scope and limitations of their findings....The work comes at an opportune time....these papers contain a great deal of value, aiding the reader in making informed judgments about the direction in which efforts to develop large-scale text-based systems are heading."" —Information Processing & Management ""The overall quality of the papers is good....they give a clear conceptual background for the research, justifying the importance of the themes presented....Sufficient details and examples are provided...The organization of the book works..."" —Computational Linguistics ""....addresses computer-based text understanding from a practical perspective that...provide[s] examples and insights into what is now happening in research laboratories and may be expected to influence available tools in the next few years....The chapters in all sections are rich in examples and give some detail about the techniques being used. Anyone involved in the analysis of textual material will find stimulating examples of new methodologies in this book."" —Contemporary Psychology"
