  • Patent number: 7650339
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are provided for extracting information from a plurality of articles in a distributed manner and for storing the extracted information in an information store. The invention identifies a plurality of articles from which information is to be extracted and a plurality of information extractors for extracting the information from the articles. Each article is assigned a priority score and ranking the articles from highest to lowest priority, thereby generating a queue; wherein the priority score for each article is calculated using a user-configurable priority calculation algorithm. The plurality of articles is assigned to the plurality of information extractors based on order in the queue, wherein an article with a higher rank is presented for information extraction before an article with a lower rank. Information extracted by information extractors from the articles is stored in the information store.

  • Patent number: 6772160
    Abstract: The method and system for extracting information from a plurality of articles and for storing the extracted information in a knowledge-based information store. The method and system identify a plurality of articles from which information is to be extracted. The method and system identify and assign a plurality of information extractors for extracting information from the plurality of articles. The method and system receive information extracted by an information extractor from an article assigned to the information extractor. The method and system enable a content reviewer to review the extracted information received from the information extractor and the content reviewer identifies errors associated with the extracted information. If the error count is above the threshold level, the article may be reassigned for information extraction. If the error count is equal to or below the threshold level, the content reviewer may change the extracted information to correct the errors.
