  1. Structure Based Information Extraction (SBIE) Hua Lei 06/09/2004

  2. The disadvantages of BYU tool • Define ontologies, lexicons and data patterns for each domain. • Define and update ontologies, lexicons and data patterns manually. • Results heavily rely on lexicons and data patterns.

  3. HTML code of a data group • <TD vAlign=top width="33%"><A class=prodtitle • href="http://www.kmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1789425&amp;cp=784867.784872.784574&amp;parentPage=family"> • <CENTER><IMG src="kmart_files/p1472053th.gif" • border=0></CENTER><BR>Sharp LC-20B4U-S 20-Inch Flact LCD Television in Silver</A><BR><BR><SPAN • class=listprice>List Price: $1299.99* <BR></SPAN><SPAN • class=ourprice><B>Our Price: $1199.99</B></SPAN> </TD> Phenomenon: all data groups in the same web page have a same structure. Idea: extracts data from web pages based on the data group structure.

  4. Method of SBIE Step 1. choose a data group as the initial one which has a typical data structure.

  5. Method of SBIE Step 2. Analyze HTML code of the web page and find the structure of data group. • Recognize the annotations, data patterns and relative positions of each data. • This algorithm can integrate all these structure information and get the structure of the data group. • Validate the data group structure by recognizing other data groups based on this data group structure.

  7. Method of SBIE Step 3. use the result of step 2 to extract other data groups in that web page.

  8. Initialinstances Structureanalysis No Validation Yes Extractdata Method of SBIE

  9. Method of SBIE • Machine Learning: • A machine learning technique will combine with the structure recognizing algorithm. • A database for data group structures, lexicons and data patterns will be created or update after each extraction. • The machine learning tool can analyze new data group structure based on the structure information in the database. • When SBIE is well trained, SBIE could analyze the data group structures in the HTML code and extract data without the initial data group (step 1).

  10. Conclusion SBIE • Extend BYU tool. • Extract information without defining ontologies. • Create and update data patterns and lexicons automatically. • Extracting data based on their relative positions. • Machine learning technique makes it smart.
