Abstract

In this paper we describe a highly parallel method for extracting inferences from text. The method is based on a marker-propagation algorithm that establishes semantic paths between knowledge base concepts. The paper presents the structure of the system, the marker-propagation algorithm, and results that show a large degree of parallelism.
