>
> 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.
