Hi all,
as part of our annotations project I started to work on a plugin for the
UIMA Cas Editor (an eclipse based annotation tool), which I contributed
years to the UIMA project.
The plugin currently only contains view for the name finder and can
suggest names which
should be labeled. The view can be used by a user to quickly confirm names
in the shown document. It should also be possible to reject names, but
that is not yet implemented.
Efficient keyboard support is also still missing.
For the described approach it is important that the name finder has a
high recall, and suggest
at least almost every name in the text. After playing around a little, I
now use the sequence validator
to force it to detect tokens which occurred in confirmed names always as
names (start, cont).
That works great and boosts recall dramatically after the user confirmed
the first few names,
but it still needs a little tweaking (e.g. filter stop words).
Anyway I hope I will have it soon in a state, that it can be tested by
others also, it still has a couple
of rough edges.
Jörn
