  1. Bootstrapping Regular-Expression Recognizer to Help Human Annotators Tae Woo Kim

  2. Background • Human annotators annotate entities • Top to bottom, a person at a time • Find what they can find

  3. Background

  4. Background

  5. Background • The form fills out the ontology snippet

  6. Motivation • Too many genealogical documents for human annotators • 611,923 Historical documents and family tree with Ely • The documents represent information in similar patterns • Why not use these patterns!

  7. Solution • While human annotators annotate entities, the system watches and learn • Break the text of the documents into sentence fragments • Find sentence fragments that are in the same pattern • Turn the pattern into regular expressions

  8. What human annotators have What the system has

  9. Solution [1digit num.]._[name],_b._[date],_d._[date]. (\d).\s([A-Z][a-z]+\s[A-Z][a-z]+),\sb.\s(\d{4}),\sd.\s(\d{4}).

  10. Solution • Run the regular-expressions in the rest of the documents • Ontology snippet can be filled out with the extracted data • The system fills out the form for the annotators

  11. Conclusion • Regular-expression recognizers watches and learn from human annotators • Generate regular-expression to find entities for annotators • The system will get better and better as it learns more patterns
