The World Wide Web contains a significant amount of information expressed using natural language. While unstructured text is often difficult for machines to understand, the field of Information Extraction (IE) offers a way to map textual content into a structured knowledge base. The ability to amass vast quantities of information from Web pages has the potential to increase the power with which a modern search engine can answer complex queries. IE has traditionally focused on acquiring knowledge about particular relationships within a small collection of domain-specific text. Typically, a target relation is provided to the system as input along with extraction patterns or examples that have been specified by hand. Shifting to a new relation requires a person to create new patterns or examples. This manual labor scales linearly with the number of relations of interest. The task of extracting information from the Web presents several challenges for existing IE systems. The Web is large and heterogeneous; the number of potentially interesting relations is massive and their identity often unknown. To enable large-scale knowledge acquisition from the Web, this thesis presents Open Information Extraction, a novel extraction paradigm that automatically discovers thousands of relations from unstructured text and readily scales to the size and diversity of the Web.
