Abstract
This paper describes Information Extraction for applications concerning the automated filling of templates from an input of HTML documents. We developed a complete system to extract information from Web sites. The system is able to use a number of algorithms to learn the document structure, rules and keywords to locate specific information and spatial relations between different information items. Experiments with well known data set show a substantial performance improvement over standard wrapper systems.
