Short note on Information Extraction

 Information Extraction 

 Information extraction is the process of extracting information from unstructured textual sources to enable finding entities as well as classifying and storing them in a database. Semantically enhanced information extraction (also known as semantic annotation) couples those entities with their semantic descriptions and connections from a knowledge graph. By adding metadata to the extracted concepts, this technology solves many challenges in enterprise content management and knowledge discovery.

Typical Information Extraction Applications

Information extraction can be applied to a wide range of textual sources: from emails and Web pages to reports, presentations, legal documents, and scientific papers. The technology successfully solves challenges related to content management and knowledge discovery in the areas of:

  • Business intelligence (for enabling analysts to gather structured information from multiple sources);
  • .Financial investigation (for analysis and discovery of hidden relationships); 
  • Scientific research (for automated references discovery or relevant papers suggestion);
  • Media monitoring (for mentions of companies, brands, people);
  • Healthcare records management (for structuring and summarizing patients' records); 
  • Pharma research (for drug discovery, adverse effects discovery and clinical trials automated analysis).

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?
