Abstract

We propose a demonstration of PATTY, a system for learning semantic relationships from the Web. PATTY is a collection of relations learned automatically from text. It aims to be to patterns what WordNet is to words. The semantic types of PATTY relations enable advanced search over subject-predicate-object data. With the ongoing trends of enriching Web data (both text and tables) with entity-relationship-oriented semantic annotations, we believe a demo of the PATTY system will be of interest to the database community.
