Abstract

We propose a method for finding an intermediate entity between two examples on the Web. For example, a user wants to find events that occurred between the Battle of Red Cliffs and the death of Cao Cao. In this situation, the user wants to find something intermediate between two events, processes, or objects. We first describe the problem of finding an entity between two examples. We then propose a method for extracting an intermediate entity between two inputs using a Web search engine. The method focuses on the positions of words in Web pages and then extracts words that are likely to appear between the two inputs. Finally, we show the usefulness of our method based on experiments.
