Knowledge base population: successful approaches and challenges
Proceedings of the 49th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies - Volume 1, Seite 1148--1158. Stroudsburg, PA, USA, Association for Computational Linguistics, (2011)Zusammenfassung
In this paper we give an overview of the Knowledge Base Population (KBP) track at the 2010 Text Analysis Conference. The main goal of KBP is to promote research in discovering facts about entities and augmenting a knowledge base (KB) with these facts. This is done through two tasks, <i>Entity Linking</i> -- linking names in context to entities in the KB -- and <i>Slot Filling</i> -- adding information about an entity to the KB. A large source collection of newswire and web documents is provided from which systems are to discover information. Attributes ("slots") derived from Wikipedia infoboxes are used to create the reference KB. In this paper we provide an overview of the techniques which can serve as a basis for a good KBP system, lay out the remaining challenges by comparison with traditional Information Extraction (IE) and Question Answering (QA) tasks, and provide some suggestions to address these challenges.
