A method based on the Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) is proposed to extract the information of unstructured factual information text, and the method of parameter estimation and feature selection is also anlyzed. During information extraction, the author blocks the text firstly with the help of format information such as separator and special identifier, and then extracts the designated block with Conditional Random Fields. The proposed method is applied in Global Weapon Knowledge Base System (GWKBS), and experiment results show that it has a better precision and recall performance.
