MITRE: DESCRIPTION OF THE ALEMBIC SYSTEM AS USED IN MET

Alembic is a comprehensive information extraction system that has been applied to a range of tasks. These include the now-standard components of the formal MUC evaluations: name tagging (NE in MUC-6), name normalization (TE), and template generation (ST). The system has also been exploited to help segment and index broadcast video and was used for early experiments on variants of the co-reference identification task. (For details, see [1].)
