Abstract
Public email announcements present a number of unique challenges for an Information Extraction (IE) system, such as the presence of both free and semi-structured text, inconsistent document layout and widely varying formats of template fillers. In this paper we describe a study of parametrisation of an IE method to determine settings that best suit the specifics of the task at hand.
The study was supported by a ESRC grant RES-000-23-0010.
