Abstract
Expert advice on crop management is often written informally, and in such text a number can easily be assigned the wrong role or attached to the wrong operation, material, or measurement basis. We propose QS-IE, a knowledge extraction method constrained by quantity and operation scope. Its unit of extraction is a complete quantitative fact. Given a shared set of numeric candidates and a single base model, QS-IE selects complete candidates from several prompting strategies, verifies them against the source text, and applies scope constraints, so that every extracted quantity stays linked to its source evidence. We built a corpus of 4006 texts on tomato cultivation. Two researchers with agrono... More >
