Abstract

Successfully managing information means being able to find relevant new information and to correctly integrate it with pre-existing knowledge. Much information is nowadays stored as multilingual textual data; therefore advanced classification systems are currently considered as strategic components for effective knowledge management. We describe an experie~ce integrating different innovative AI t~chnolog~es such as hierarchical pattern matchmg and mformation extraction to provide flexible multilingual classification adaptable to user needs. Pattern matching produces fairly accurate and fast categorisation over a large number of classes, while information extraction provides fine-grained classification for a reduced number of classes. The resulting system was adopted by the main Italian financial news agency providing a pay-to-view service.
