CRL/NMSU and Brandeis: description of the MucBruce system as used for MUC-4

Abstract

Through their involvement in the Tipster project the Computing Research Laboratory at New Mexico State University and the Computer Science Department at Brandeis University are developing a method for identifying articles of interest and extracting and storing specific kinds of information from large volumes of Japanese and English texts. We intend that the method be general and extensible. The techniques involved are not explicitly tied to these two languages nor to a particular subject area. Development for Tipster has been going on since September, 1992.
