    AN UNSUPERVISED FRAMEWORK FOR INFORMATION EXTRACTION

    I will describe a framework for relation learning and building of
    domain-specific relation extraction systems (Visual Care). I will
    demonstrate several applications of the framework in the domains of
    mining public medical forums and financial news and blogs. The case
    studies demonstrate the ability of the system to achieve high accuracy
    of relation identification and extraction with minimal human
    supervision. I will also describe and demonstrate the performance of
    VC's modifier learning mechanism and coreference resolution.
