YAGO-NAGA

AIDA is a method for disambiguating mentions of named entities in text.

AMIE: Association Rule Mining under Incomplete Evidence in Ontological Knowledge Bases. This project is developed jointly with the DBWeb team of Télécom ParisTech.

ANGIE is an active knowledge system for interactive exploration.

DEANNA is a framework for natural language question answering over structured knowledge bases.

Time-Aware Named Entity Disambiguation for Diachronic Corpora

Equity is an end-to-end system for canonicalizing mentions of entities, classes, concepts and quantities in ad-hoc tables and their surrounding contexts.

Computation of semantically meaningful substructures from knowledge graphs.

The long goal of this project is extracting interesting information, mainly related to characters in fictional stories, including personal information (e.g. name, birth/dead, title, etc.), interpersonal relationships (e.g. family relations, business relations, ally/enemy, etc.) and narratives (e.g. battles, who kills whom, etc.).

EVIN (EVents In News) is a system that can extract named events from a news corpus, organizes them into ontological classes, and supports interactive exploration. EVIN exploits different kinds of similarities between news items referring to textual contents, entity occurrences, and temporal ordering, and captures these similarities in a multi-view attributed graph.

HIGGINS project aims to combine Crowdsourcing with automated Information Extraction techniques to enable high-quality fact extraction from complex textual inputs.

HYENA is a multi-label classifier for entity types based on hierarchical taxonomies derived from YAGO2.

In IBEX, we study the prevalence of unique entity identifiers on the Web. These are, e.g., ISBNs (books), GTINs (commercial products), DOIs (documents), email addresses, and others. We show how these identifiers can be harvested systematically from Web pages. The end result is a database of millions of uniquely identified entities of different types, with an accuracy of 73-96% and a very high coverage.

The Javatools are a suite of Java classes for a variety of small tasks, such as parsing, database interaction or file handling. They are used in the YAGO-NAGA project and available for download as well.

Gathering and ranking photos of named entities with high precision, high recall, and diversity.

Know2look is an image retrieval framework that uses Commonsense Knowledge to bridge the semantic gap between the query keywords, textual descriptions and the visual content of the images.

Mining History with Le Monde. This project is developed jointly with the DBWeb team of Télécom ParisTech.

LEILA is a system that extracts facts from Web sources by linguistic analysis.

NAGA is a new semantic search engine supporting keyword search for the casual user as well as graph queries with regular expressions for the expert user.

PATTY is a large collection of relations, arranged by synonyms and into subsumptions.

PRAVDA is a system based on label propagation for knowledge harvesting especially temporal knowledge.

Large-scale information extraction, a continuation of the SOFIE approach.

Searching for entities with quantity constraints over web content.

RDF-3X is an RDF storage and retrieval system that achieves excellent performance by following a RISC-style design philosophy.

Rule Learning with Embedding Support

SOFIE extracts information from Web sources.

Still searching with keywords? "STICS: Searching with Strings, Things, and Cats" is a news search engine based on AIDA technology, which enables search for entities and categories!

UWN is a multilingual version of WordNet, describing meanings of words in different languages and their relationships.

Watermarking and Provenance for Ontologies. This project is developed jointly with the DBWeb team of Télécom ParisTech.

YAGO is a huge semantic knowledge base, derived from Wikipedia, WordNet, and GeoNames. YAGO knows almost 10 million entities (e.g. persons, organizations, cities), and 120 million facts about these entities. Unlike other automatically assembled knowledge bases, YAGO has a manually confirmed accuracy of 95%. YAGO is freely available at yago-knowledge.org.
