TEMPLATE DESIGN FOR INFORMATION EXTRACTION\n\nBoyan OnyshkevychUS Department of DefenseFt.Meade,MD 20755email:baonysh@afterlife.ncsc.mil  \nThe design of the template for an information extraction application(or exercise)reflects the nature of the taskand therefore crucially affects the success of the attempt to capture information from text.This paper addresses thetemplate design requirement by discussing the general principles or desiderata of template design,object-oriented vs.flat template design,and template definition notation,all refecting the results and lessons learned in the TIPSTER/MUC-5 template definition effort which is explicitly discussed in a Case Study in the last section of this paper.  \n## GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS\n\nThe design of the template needs to balance a number of (often conflicting)goals,as reflected by these desider-ata,which apply primarily to object-oriented templates (see below),but also have applicability to flat-structure tem-plates as well.Some of these desiderata reflect well-known,good data-base design practices,whereas others areparticular to Information Extraction.Some of these desiderata are further illustrated in the Case Study section below.  \n·  DESCRIPTIVE ADEQUACY-the requirement for a template to represent allof the information neces-sary for the task or application at hand.At times the inclusion of one type of information requires theinclusion of other,supporting,information(for example,measurements require specification of units,and temporally dynamic relations require temporal parametrization).  \n·  CLARITY-the ability to represent information in the template unambiguously,and for that informationto be manipulable by computer applications without further inference.Depending on the application,any ambiguity in the text may result in either representation of that ambiguity in the template,or repre-sentation of default(or inferred)values,or omission of that ambiguous information altogether.  \n·  DETERMINACY-the requirement that there be only one way of representing a given item or complexof information within the template.Significant difficulties may arise in the information extraction appli-cation if the same interpretation of a text can legally produce differing structures.  \n·  PERSPICUITY -the degree to which the design is conceptually clear to the human analysts who willinput or edit information in the template or work with the results;this desideratum becomes slightly lessimportant if more sophisticated human-machine interfaces are utilized,or if a human is not \"in theloop”.Using object types which reflect conceptual objects (or Platonic ideals)that are familiar to theanalysts facilitates understanding of those objects,thus the template.  \n·  MONOTONICITY -a requirement that the template design monotonically(or incrementally)refiectsthe data content.Given an instantiated template,the addition of an item of information should onlyresult in the addition of new object instantiations or new fills in existing objects,but should not result inthe removal or restructuring of existing objects or slot fills.  \n·  APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS -the particular task or application may impose structural orsemantic constraints on the template design;for example,a requirement for use of a particular evalua-tion methodology or system for evaluation may impose practical limits on embeddedness and linking.  \nOne other consideration comes into play when there is a current or potential requirement for multiple templatedesigns in similar or disparate domains.  \n·REUSABILITY-elements(objects)of a template are potentially reusable in other domains;eventuallya library of such objects can be built up,facilitating template building for new domains or requirements,  \n## OBJECT-ORIENTED TEMPLATE DESIGN\n\nThe MUC3 and MUC4 terrorist domain templates were “fat”data structures with 24 slots;this led to consider-able awkwardness in representing the relationships between data items in different slots.For example,in o","cbCaipMTPoTumIhW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipMTPoTumIhW","pdf",375318,"English","# TEMPLATE DESIGN FOR INFORMATION
