It automatically extracts security-related facts from on-line news articles. In particular, the paper focuses on a novel bootstrapping algorithm for weakly supervised acquisition of extraction patterns from clustered news, cluster-level information fusion and pattern specification language. Finally, a preliminary evaluation of nexus on real-world data is given which revealed acceptable precision and a strong application potential. }, title = {Extracting Violent Events from On-line News for Ontology Population}, url = {http://www.springerlink.com/content/h48610025603/, http://www.springerlink.com/content/yj4018524j3q0656/?p=7137a0df574f4fe2a8c3e47a9491e4f3&pi=21}, volume = {}, number = {}, journal = {}, pages = {287-300}, issn = {}, publisher = {Springer}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-540-72035-5} }
