Abstract
Text is critical in our communication. An overwhelmingly portion of the text we deal with everyday is unstructured: key terms in text are usually not marked as such explicitly and essential claims in text documents are usually not highlighted by colorful inks. Human readers are capable of identifying and discerning implicit messages from text expressed in their natural languages. However, human readers’ ability is limited when facing hundreds, thousands, and even more such identification and differentiation tasks. Many real-life situations require a timely understanding of a pile of text or a swift analysis of multiple sources of text. For example, funding agencies need to deal with increasing numbers of proposals; scientists need to keep abreast of many seemingly relevant new publications to their research all the time; and historians need to sift through mountains of archival documents.
