Sterling Software: An NLToolset-based System for MUC-6

Abstract

For a little over two years, Sterling Software lTD 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. ATS was in its final delivery phase at the same time as our MUC-6 development. We elected to participate despite this conflict, but it did limit us to 4 person-weeks on MUC-6, forcing us to scale back from our original plans and only participate in the NE and TE tasks. The results were more than gratifying.
