Extracting Concepts and Types

Whenever you run a stream that launches the interactive workbench, an extraction is automatically performed on the text data in the stream. The end result of this extraction is a set of concepts, types, and, in the case where TLA patterns exist in the linguistic resources, patterns. You can view and work with concepts and types in the Extraction Results pane. See How extraction works for more information.

If you want to fine-tune the extraction results, you can modify the linguistic resources and re-extract. See Refining extraction results for more information. The extraction process relies on the resources and any parameters in the Extract dialog box to dictate how to extract and organize the results. You can use the extraction results to define the better part, if not all, of your category definitions.
