Abstract
Information Extraction (IE) is the key technology enabling analytics over unstructured and semi-structured data. Not surprisingly, it is becoming a critical building block for a wide range of emerging applications. To satisfy the rising demands for information extraction in real-world applications, it is crucial to lower the barrier to entry for IE development and enable users with general computer science background to develop higher quality extractors. In this demonstration 1 , we present VINERy, an intuitive yet expressive visual IDE for information extraction. We show how it supports the full cycle of IE development without requiring a single line of code and enables a wide range of users to develop high quality IE extractors with minimal efforts. The extractors visually built in VINERY are automatically translated into semantically equivalent extractors in a state-of-the-art declarative language for IE. We also demonstrate how the auto-generated extractors can then be imported into a conventional Eclipse-based IDE for further enhancement. The results of our user studies indicate that VINERY is a significant step forward in facilitating extractor development for both expert and novice IE developers.
