CIIR Talk Series: Masaharu Yoshioka, Information Extraction from the Domain Text

Content

Speaker

Masaharu Yoshioka (Hokkaido University) - Speaker will be in person for this presentation. 

Abstract

Recent developments in natural language processing techniques, including generative AI, have enabled us to extract useful information from domain-specific texts. In this presentation, we introduce two ongoing research projects. The first is the Competition on Legal Information Extraction and Entailment (COLIEE) [1], which aims to support legal information processing tasks such as retrieving relevant statutes or court cases and performing entailment based on the retrieved results. The second project focuses on extracting chemical reaction process information from scientific papers [2,3].  [1,2,3: see presentation for citations]

Bio

Masaharu Yoshioka is a Professor of Faculty of Information Science and Technology, and Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery of Hokkaido University. He received the B.E. and M.E. degrees of precision engineering and the Ph.D. degree of precision machinery engineering from University of Tokyo, Japan, in 1991, 1993, and 1996, respectively. His research interests include application of knowledge engineering technology for information access and knowledge management, Linked Open Data, and application of knowledge engineering technology for a particular research domain (e.g., cheminformatics and nanoinformatics).
