FASTUS: A system for extracting information from natural language text [link]Website  abstract   bibtex   
"FASTUS is a system for extracting information from free text in English, and potentially other languages as well, for entry into a database, and potentially for other applications. It works essentially as a cascaded, nondeterministic finite state automaton. There are four steps in the operation of FASTUS. In Step 1 sentences are scanned for certain trigger words to determine whether further processing should be done. In Step 2 noun groups, verb groups, and prepositions and some other particles are recognized. The input to Step 3 is the sequence of phrases recognized in Step 2; patterns of interest are identified in Step 3 and corresponding 'incident structures' are built up. In Step 4 incident structures that derive from the same incident are identified and merged, and these are used in generating database entries.
