....converted into a more compact format. Patti is currently used to find basic linguistic units such as simple noun groups. Its task is thus comparable with Lingsofts NPtool (cf. Voutilainen, 1993] or parts of information extraction systems such as SMES (cf. Neumann et al., 1997] and FASTUS (cf. [Hobbs et al. 1997]) The code generated by Patti is just one out of a number of modules in the Apple Linguistic Analysis Library which work on the tagger output. Additional modules provide the following functionality: n the text is segmented into cohesive parts, using a modification of the algorithm described by ....

....methods seem to be a very viable alternative for a large number of applications. Recently, there were large achievements in the field of Message Understanding, or more exactly: populating a database by extracting relevant information from naturallanguage texts. Leading systems such as FASTUS (cf. [Hobbs et al. 1997]) and SMES Related Work 9 2 [Russi, 1990] p. 82, concludes his experiments as follows: by carefully tuning a parsing strategy, efficiency can be significantly increased. Memory consumption can be reduced by up to a factor of four and CPU time by up to a factor of three. 3 For example, ....
