Common use of Alerting System Clause in Contracts

Alerting System. An alerting system would inform a user on developments happening in the internet: Mentioning of persons in newspapers, alerting users for new business developments, opinion mining on the features of a newly launched product etc. Such a system would essentially require the following building blocks: • a web crawler, to identify relevant documents (like newspaper articles, blog contributions etc.) • a normalisation component to extract good text from the web documents • a segmentation of the text into sentences and tokens • lemmatisation, to find the lexical items • tagging for a shallow syntactic description of the input sentences • named entity recognition, to identify the information objects of interest (persons, products etc.), and possibly an opinion mining component which detects the opinions of the users on the identified objects. In case the result matches a given alerting scheme the users are informed about this new document. Such a system could be extended into the multilingual domain, meaning that many monolingual applications would run in parallel. It could be imagined that PANACEA tools would be used to extend the language coverage of such an existing application. Such a workflow should be supported by PANACEA; however it will not be systematically evaluated in WP 81.
