  abstract  = {In this paper, we address the (to the best of our knowledge) new problem of
	extracting a structured description of real estate properties from their
	natural language descriptions in classifieds. We survey and present several
	models to (a) identify important entities of a property (e.g.,rooms) from
	classifieds and (b) structure them into a tree format, with the entities as
	nodes and edges representing a part-of relation. Experiments show that a
	graph-based system deriving the tree from an initially fully connected entity
	graph, outperforms a transition-based system starting from only the entity
	nodes, since it better reconstructs the tree.},
