Basic extraction configuration

Introduction

Project models can identify and extract the mentions of the taxonomy concepts from documents.

Use the Extraction tab of the Edit concept panel its toolbar to change the basic extraction settings for a concept.

The extraction method and the context settings are determined by the project's extraction settings which in turn derive from the choices made during project creation. More details in the dedicated pages.

More advanced settings can be managed in the Advanced extraction tab.

Toggle extraction

Use the Extraction toggle on the panel toolbar to turn extraction on and off.
If extraction is disabled, the concept label in the taxonomy tree is stricken through.

Co-occurrence constraints

You can specify terms that must or must not co-occur with mentions of the concept to extract inside the extraction context.
For example, you may want the concept of chair to be extracted only if the term president is not also present in the same paragraph.
