Enterprise Requirements
• Accuracy– Garbage-in garbage-out: Usefulness of analytics results is tied to the quality of
extraction
• Scalability– Large data volumes, often orders of magnitude larger than classical NLP corpora
• Social Media: – Twitter alone has 400M+ messages / day; 1TB+ per day
• Financial Data:– SEC alone has 20M+ filings, several TBs of data, with documents range from few KBs to few
MBs
• Machine Data: – One application server under moderate load at medium logging level 1GB of logs per day
• Transparency– Every customer’s data and problems are unique in some way– Need to quickly implement new business logic
• Usability– Building an accurate IE system is labor-intensive– Professional programmers are expensive

Summary
• SystemT – Declarative IE system based on an algebraic framework– Expressivity and performance advantages over grammar-
based IE systems– Text-specific optimizations– Key enabling technology for Big Data analytics applications
• Ongoing Work– Tooling support for non-programmers– Improved optimization strategies– New operators for advanced features (e.g. co-reference
resolution, text normalization)
