Information Extraction

Information extraction (IE) focuses on automatically extracting structured information from unstructured or semi-structured text, aiming to convert raw data into usable formats for various applications. Current research emphasizes unified IE frameworks, often leveraging large language models (LLMs) and incorporating retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) techniques, along with advancements in neural architectures like LSTMs and transformers. This field is crucial for knowledge base construction, enabling efficient data analysis across diverse domains like healthcare, finance, and humanitarian aid, and improving the accuracy and speed of data processing in numerous applications.
