@inproceedings{schumacher_hybrid_2013, address = {Passau, Germany}, title = {Hybrid extraction of personal workflows}, isbn = {978-3-95545-016-8}, abstract = {In this paper we present an approach to formalize process-oriented knowl- edge from user generated content by extracting workflows from text. We aim at textual descriptions of procedures. By modeling formal workflows for such descriptions it is possible to provide end users with step-by-step guidance, for instance during config- uring a new appliance or during cooking. Currently, workflow modeling in the food and kitchen sector is gaining increasing attention in the industry since home cook- ery is an expanding market. Recipe platform providers, health support services and producers of kitchen appliances have recently started developments in this field. Our approach automatically extracts workflows from cooking recipes to support the pro- cess of workflow modeling for cooking guidance. We implemented a prototypical workflow extraction system and evaluated it in a laboratory experiment. We executed the experiment with 7 probands and gathered 202 data-points. The experimental re- sults confirm the benefits of our approach.}, booktitle = {Konferenzbeiträge der 7. {Konferenz} {Professionelles} {Wissenmanagement}}, publisher = {Berlin : Gito-Verl.}, author = {Schumacher, Pol and Minor, Mirjam}, year = {2013}, pages = {113--127}, }
