Sterling software: an NLToolset-based system for MUC-6

ABSTRACT

For a little over two years, Sterling Software ITD has been developing the Automatic Templating System (ATS) [1] for automatically extracting entity and event data in the counter-narcotics domain from military messages. This system, part of the Counter Drug Intelligence System (CDIS), was built around the NLToolset [2], which was originally developed by GE and is now being developed and supported by Lockheed-Martin. Early results showed that the system was performing better than the human analysts in all aspects.
