This presentation will discuss an approach to cascaded FST parsing and its application in information extraction. An integrated system of shallow and deep parsing, with not only syntactic but also semantic analysis, can provide direct support for advanced information extraction tasks, such as the extraction of both general and specifically defined events from real texts. This type of domain independent parser is proven to be efficient, and can be applicable to developing multiple domain-dependent and/or user-configurable products.
