Fast and Accurate Categorization of Information by Language Engineering |
FACILE is an EC partially sponsored project ([Language Engineering],
LE-2440) developing a system able to classify natural language
texts.
The FACILE system will handle message dispatching and routing of texts
for financial institutions (banks, trading companies, rating
companies). Information will be categorized by first performing a shallow
analysis comparable to that obtainable by a human quickly
skimming through the text, recognizing main topics dealt with but without
actually reading the text and then applying a deeper semantic
analysis on selected portions of the text which characterizes the content.
The system will be implemented as a generic development environment,
provided with suitable development tools, to be used in building
specific applications, and equipped with linguistic tools and knowledge
bases able to support applications in the financial environment.
