AATOS – A Configurable Tool for Automatic Annotation

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 10318))

Abstract

This paper presents an automatic annotation tool AATOS for providing documents with semantic annotations. The tool links entities found from the texts to ontologies defined by the user. The application is highly configurable and can be used with different natural language Finnish texts. The application was developed as a part of the WarSampo (http://seco.cs.aalto.fi/projects/sotasampo/en/) and Semantic Finlex (http://seco.cs.aalto.fi/projects/lawlod/en/) projects and tested using Kansa Taisteli magazine articles and consolidated Finnish legislation of Semantic Finlex. The quality of the automatic annotation was evaluated by measuring precision and recall against existing manual annotations. The results showed that the quality of the input text, as well as the selection and configuration of the ontologies impacted the results.
