Abstract

Over the recent past, information extraction (IE) systems such as Nell and ReVerb have attained much success in creating large knowledge resources with minimal supervision. But, these resources in general, lack schema information and contain facts with high degree of ambiguity which are often difficult to interpret. Whereas, Wikipedia-based IE projects like DBpedia and Yago are structured, have disambiguated facts with unique identifiers and maintain a well-defined schema. In this work, we propose a probabilistic method to integrate these two types of IE projects where the structured knowledge bases benefit from the wide coverage of the semi-supervised IE projects and the latter benefits from the schema information of the former.
