Abstract

From semantic point of view, information is usually contained in small units, called facts that are usually smaller than sentences. Identification of these facts in a text is not a trivial task. We present a heuristic algorithm for extraction of facts from sentences using a simple representation based on a relational data model. We focus our study on texts that contain a lot of facts by their nature: structured textbooks. The algorithm is based on data obtained by a syntactic analyzer. The obtained facts can be useful for information retrieval tasks, automatic summarization, etc. Our experiments are conducted for Spanish language. We obtained better results than the similar methods.
