Approaches
Three standard approaches are now widely accepted
- Hand-written regular expressions (perhaps stacked)
- Using classifiers
- Generative: naïve Bayes classifier
- Discriminative: maximum entropy models
- Sequence models
- Hidden Markov model
- CMMs/MEMMs
- Conditional random fields (CRF) are commonly used in conjunction with IE for tasks as varied as extracting information from research papers to extracting navigation instructions.
Numerous other approaches exist for IE including hybrid approaches that combine some of the standard approaches previously listed.

Famous quotes containing the word approaches:
“The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“If I commit suicide, it will not be to destroy myself but to put myself back together again. Suicide will be for me only one means of violently reconquering myself, of brutally invading my being, of anticipating the unpredictable approaches of God. By suicide, I reintroduce my design in nature, I shall for the first time give things the shape of my will.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“A politician is a statesman who approaches every question with an open mouth.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
