Pocket Knowledge Base Population

Existing Knowledge Base Population methods extract relations from a closed relational schema with limited coverage, leading to sparse KBs. We propose Pocket Knowledge Base Population (PKBP), the task of dynamically constructing a KB of entities related to a query and finding the best characterization of relationships between entities. We describe novel Open Information Extraction methods which leverage the PKB to find informative trigger words. We evaluate using existing KBP shared-task data as well as new annotations collected for this work. Our methods produce high quality KBs from just text with many more entities and relationships than existing KBP systems.
