Hierarchy Builder: Organizing Textual Spans into a Hierarchy to Facilitate Navigation

18 Sep 2023  ·  Itay Yair, Hillel Taub-Tabib, Yoav Goldberg ·

Information extraction systems often produce hundreds to thousands of strings on a specific topic. We present a method that facilitates better consumption of these strings, in an exploratory setting in which a user wants to both get a broad overview of what's available, and a chance to dive deeper on some aspects. The system works by grouping similar items together and arranging the remaining items into a hierarchical navigable DAG structure. We apply the method to medical information extraction.
