A Simple Distant Supervision Approach for the TAC-KBP Slot Filling Task
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the design and implementation of the slot filling system prepared by Stanford’s natural language processing group for the 2010 Knowledge Base Population (KBP) track at the Text Analysis Conference (TAC). Our system relies on a simple distant supervision approach using mainly resources furnished by the track organizers: we used slot examples from the provided knowledge base, which we mapped to documents from several corpora, i.e., those distributed by the organizers, Wikipedia, and web snippets. Our implementation attained the median rank among all participating systems.

For the slot filling task of TAC KBP 2010 we developed as a system a simple pipeline architecture whose main components are a two-stage retrieval module and a relation extraction module. We use word-cluster features in the system as a method of achieving generalization by exploiting raw text. In the relation extraction module we use distant supervision in order to extract training examples from...

This paper describes the system implemented by the NLP GROUP AT UNED for the Knowledge Base Population 2013 English Slot Filling (SF) and Temporal Slot Filling (TSF) tasks. For the Slot Filling task, we implemented a distant supervision approach, using Freebase as a source of training relations and news sources to retrieve training examples. For the Temporal Slot Filling task, our approach is b...

The NYU Knowledge Base Population (KBP) slot filling system for 2011 was built upon the system for 2010. The primary addition was a set of classifiers trained using distant supervision. A secondary addition involved a slot-specific passage retrieval system combined with name-type-based answer selection -in effect, a simple QA system. In the three sections that follow, we review the 2010 baselin...

We describe our participation in the Knowledge Base Population (KBP) English slot filling track of TAC. Our system is based on a distant supervision approach, where training instances are created by heuristically matching DBpedia relation tuples with sentences. Our official submission, which uses web snippets returned by search engines to collect positive instances, results in a performance com...

This paper describes our submissions for the Slot Filling task of TAC-KBP 2011. The system takes as baseline the one we developed for the 2010 edition (Intxaurrondo et al., 2010), which is based on distant supervision. We did a straightforward implementation, trained using snippets of the document collection containing both entity and filler from the KB provided by the organizers. Our system do...
