The aim of Information Extraction is to find and link important information from documents on natural language putting apart from this the information that is not relevant.
The information is pre-specified so this way is easier to concrete what is important and what is not important. Some projects on IE:
- Fastus
- GenIE
We can also see that the IE has much to do with the World Wide Web, because with the development of the last one the information extraction must be stronger so people can use to cope with the big amount of information on the Internet.
