We present sppc, a high-performance system for intelligent text extraction and navigation
from German free text documents. sppc consists of a set of domainindependent shallow core
components which are realized by means of cascaded weighted finite state machines and
generic dynamic tries. All extracted information is represented uniformly in one data
structure (called the text chart) in a highly compact and linked form in order to support
indexing and navigation through the set of solutions. German text processing includes …
