Information Extraction with RapidMiner
In this paper we present the Information Extraction (IE)-plugin for the open source Data Mining (DM) software RapidMiner1 [Mierswa et al., 2006]. The IE-plugin can be seen as an interface between natural language and IE- or DM-methods, because it converts documents containing natural language texts into machine-readable form in order to extract interesting information like special entities and relations between those. The plugin is very modular and easy to use, which makes it more applicable for different domains and tasks.
