Successfully managing information means being able to find relevant new information and to correctly integrate it with pre-existing knowledge. Much information in nowadays stored as multilingual textual data; therefore advanced classification systems are currently considered as strategic components for effective knowledge management.

Abstract
Successfully managing information means being able to find relevant new information and to correctly integrate it with pre-existing knowledge. Much information in nowadays stored as multilingual textual data; therefore advanced classification systems are currently considered as strategic components for effective knowledge management. We describe an experience integrating different innovative AI technologies such as hierarchical pattern matching and information extraction to provide flexible multilingual classification adaptable to user needs. Pattern matching produces fairly accurate and fast categorisation over a large number of classes, while information extraction provides fine-grained classification for a reduced number of classes. The resulting system was adopted by the main Italian financial news agency providing a pay-to-view service.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
