Summary

This is a recent paper paper that addressed the Open Information Extraction problem. Authors used a self supervised learning prototype, KYLIN (Wu_and_Weld_CIKM_2007), trained using Wikipedia. There are three components in the proposed solution:

  1. Self Learning
    • The infobox of Wikipedia pages are used to determine the class of the page and attributes of the class.
    • Training data for the extraction were constructed from these Wiki pages using heuristics. First a heuristic document classifier will classify documents into classes, then sentence classifier (MaxEnt with bagging bagging) determine if a sentence contains the relations. After that a CRF model will extract the values (second entities) of relations.
    • Shrinkage was used to improve the recall with a automatic ontology generator which combine the infobox classes with WordNet. This ontology gives a hierarchy of classes and facilitate the training of a subclass with the data of super class.
  2. Bootstrapping
    • More training data were harvest from Web using TEXTRUNNER (Banko_et_al_IJCAI_2007).
    • Web pages were weighted using the estimate of their relevance to the relation.
  3. Correction
    • An interface to encourage community to make correction, so more training data will be collected.
