Identifying Relations for Open Information Extraction
Open Information Extraction (IE) is the task of extracting assertions from massive corpora without requiring a pre-specified vocabulary. This paper shows that the output of state-of-the-art Open IE systems is rife with uninfor-mative and incoherent extractions. To overcome these problems, we introduce two simple syntactic and lexical constraints on binary… (More)
Named Entity Recognition in Tweets: An Experimental Study
People tweet more than 100 Million times daily, yielding a noisy, informal, but sometimes informative corpus of 140-character messages that mirrors the zeitgeist in an unprecedented manner. The performance of standard NLP tools is severely degraded on tweets. This paper addresses this issue by rebuilding the NLP pipeline beginning with part-of-speech… (More)
Unsupervised named-entity extraction from the Web: An experimental study
The KNOWITALL system aims to automate the tedious process of extracting large collections of facts (e.g., names of scientists or politicians) from the Web in an unsupervised, domain-independent, and scalable manner. The paper presents an overview of KNOW-ITALL's novel architecture and design principles, emphasizing its distinctive ability to extract… (More)
Open Language Learning for Information Extraction
Open Information Extraction (IE) systems extract relational tuples from text, without requiring a pre-specified vocabulary, by identifying relation phrases and associated arguments in arbitrary sentences. However, state-of-the-art Open IE systems such as REVERB and WOE share two important weaknesses – (1) they extract only relations that are mediated by… (More)
Extracting Product Features and Opinions from Reviews
Consumers are often forced to wade through many on-line reviews in order to make an informed product choice. This paper introduces OPINE, an unsupervised information-extraction system which mines reviews in order to build a model of important product features, their evaluation by reviewers, and their relative quality across products. Compared to previous… (More)
Open Information Extraction: The Second Generation
How do we scale information extraction to the massive size and unprecedented heterogeneity of the Web corpus? Beginning in 2003, our KnowItAll project has sought to extract high-quality knowledge from the Web. In 2007, we introduced the Open Information Extraction (Open IE) paradigm which eschews hand-labeled training examples, and avoids domain-specific… (More)
Towards a theory of natural language interfaces to databases
The need for Natural Language Interfaces (NLIs) to databases has become increasingly acute as more nontechnical people access information through their web browsers, PDAs and cell phones. Yet NLIs are only usable if they map natural language questions to SQL queries <i>correctly</i>. We introduce the <sc>Precise</sc> NLI [2], which reduces the semantic… (More)
The Tradeoffs Between Open and Traditional Relation Extraction
Traditional Information Extraction (IE) takes a relation name and hand-tagged examples of that relation as input. Open IE is a relation-independent extraction paradigm that is tailored to massive and heterogeneous corpora such as the Web. An Open IE system extracts a diverse set of relational tuples from text without any relation-specific input. How is Open… (More)
