....a dynamic and diverse medium as the Web. The problem, also known as wrapper induction, has already been addressed by several authors. Several machine learning techniques for inducing wrappers have been proposed such as rule learning algorithms, e.g. 17] and multi strategy approaches [18] In [41, 20, 19, 51, 16, 27, 10] grammatical inference techniques are used to induce a kind of delimiter based patterns. These methods consider the document as a string. However, structured documents such as HTML and XML documents have a tree structure. Therefore it is natural to explore the use of tree automata for IE from ....

....of WHISK are based on a kind of regular expression patterns. To make the rules more powerful, WHISK has some built in semantic classes and in addition allows for user defined semantic classes. A semantic class is basically a set of terms that are considered to be equivalent. Chidlovskii et al. [10] describe an incremental grammar induction approach; their language is based on a subclass of deterministic finite automata that do not contain cyclic patterns. Hsu and Dung s SoftMealy system [27] learns separators that identify the boundaries of the fields of interest. These separators are ....

....[16] Another problem is the diculty in porting IE systems to new applications and domains if it is to be done manually. To solve the above problems, several machine learning techniques have been proposed such as inductive logic programming, e.g. 8, 2] and induction of delimiter based patterns [16, 22, 7, 14, 3]; methods that can be classi ed as grammatical inference techniques. Some previous work on IE from structured documents [16, 14, 3] uses grammatical inference methods that infer regular languages. However structured documents such as HTML and XML documents (also annotated unstructured texts) ....

....amount of user input, their method seems to handle di erences in the order of relevant information better than ours. But since all the methods for wrapper generation have been tested on di erent data (see Section 5.6.3) further experimental evaluations and comparisons are needed. The paper [CRdR00] provides references to the literature and presents our approach for generating the information extraction part of wrappers in more detail. 5.6 How to Evaluate In Section 5.4 we discussed our experiments with link generation from the concept hierarchy to the handbook. The evaluation we performed ....
