Abstract
This article describes information extraction (IE), the process of deriving disambiguated quantifiable data from natural language texts in service of some prespecified precise information need. The article covers the origins of IE and the factors relevant to its deployment in applications contexts, presents scenarios in which the technology has been applied, breaks down the task into five subtasks and defines them, and looks at recent developments in the field.
