Our approach leverages existing techniques of open information extraction (Open IE) and crowdsourcing, along with a novel schema learning algorithm. There are three main contributions of this work. First, we present a high precision extraction pipeline able to extract (subject,predicate,object) tuples relevant to a domain with precision in excess of 80%. The input to the pipeline is a corpus, a sensedisambiguated domain vocabulary, and a small set of entity types. The pipeline uses a combination of text filtering, Open IE, Turker annotation on samples, and precision prediction to generate its output.",

"text": "Second, we present a novel canonical schema induction method (called CASI) that identifies clusters of similar-meaning predicates, and maps them to the most appropriate general predicate that captures that canonical meaning. Open IE, used in the early part of our pipeline, generates triples containing a large number of predicates (expressed as verbs or verb phrases), but equivalences and generalizations among them are not captured. Synonym dictionaries, paraphrase databases, and verb taxonomies can help identify these relationships, but only partially so because the meaning of a verb often shifts as its subject and object vary, something that these resources do not explicitly model. To address this challenge, we have developed a corpus-driven method that takes into account the subject and object of the verb, and thus can learn argument-specific mapping rules, e.g., the rule \"(x:Animal,found in,y:Location) \u2192 (x:Animal,live in,y:Location)\" states that if some animal is found in a location then it also means the animal lives in the location. Note that 'found in' can have very different meaning in the schema \"(x:Substance,found in,y:Material). The result is a KB whose general predicates are more richly populated, still with high precision.",

"text": "Finally, we contribute the science KB itself as a resource publicly available 2 to the research community. To measure how \"complete\" the KB is with respect to the target domain (elementary science), we use an (independent) corpus of domain text to characterize the target science knowledge, and measure the KB's recall at high (>80%) precision over that corpus (its \"comprehensiveness\" with respect to science). This measure is similar to recall at the point P=80% on the PR curve, except measured against a domain-specific sample of data that reflects the distribution of the target domain knowledge. Comprehensiveness thus gives us an approximate notion of the completeness of the KB for (tuple-expressible) facts in our target domain, something that has been lacking in earlier KB construction research. We show that our KB has comprehensiveness (recall of domain facts at >80% precision) of 23% with respect to science, a substantially higher coverage of tuple-expressible science knowledge than other comparable resources. We are making the KB publicly available.",

While these KBs are rich in facts about named entities, they are sparse in general knowledge about common nouns (e.g., that bears have fur). KBs covering general knowledge have received less attention, although there are some notable exceptions constructed using manual methods, e.g., WordNet (Fellbaum, 1998) , crowdsourcing, e.g., ConceptNet (Speer and Havasi, 2013) , and, more recently, using automated methods, e.g., WebChild (Tandon et al., 2014) .

Although broad coverage, however, Open IE techniques typically produce noisy output.

"text": "The task of finding and exploiting relationships between different predicates requires identifying both equivalence between relations (e.g., clustering to find paraphrases), and implication (hierarchical organization of relations). One class of approach is to use existing resources, e.g., verb taxonomies, as a source of verbal relationships, e.g., (Grycner and Weikum, 2014) , (Grycner et al., 2015) . However, the hierarchical relationship between verbs, out of context, is often unclear, and some verbs, e.g., \"have\", are ambiguous. To address this, we characterize semantic relationships not only by a verb but also by the types of its arguments. A second class of approach is to induce semantic equivalence from data, e.g., using algorithms such as DIRT (Lin and Pantel, 2001 ), RESOLVER (Yates and Etzioni, 2009) , WiseNet (Moro and Navigli, 2012) , and AMIE (Gal\u00e1rraga et al., 2013) . These allow relational equivalences to be inferred, but are also noisy. In our pipeline, we combine these two approaches together, by clustering relations using a similarity measure computed from both existing resources and data.",

This makes our problem setting different from that of universal schema (Riedel et al., 2013) where the clusters of relations are not explicitly represented and mapping to canon-ical relations can be achieved given an existing KB like Freebase. Although no existing methods can be directly applied in our problem setting, the AMIEbased schema clustering method of (Gal\u00e1rraga et al., 2014) can be modified to do this also. We have implemented this modification (called AMIE*, described in Section 5.3), and we use it as a baseline to compare our schema clustering method (CASI) against.",

We leverage this for our task by assuming one sense per noun in the domain vocabulary, and notate these senses by manually assigning each noun to one of the entity types in the type inventory. Verbs are more challenging, because even within a domain they are often polysemous out of context (e.g., \"have\"). To handle this, we refer to verbs along with their argument types, the combination expressed as a verbal schema, e.g., (Animal,\"have\",BodyPart). This allows us to distinguish different contextual uses of a verb without introducing a proliferation of verb sense symbols.

"text": "Our overall goal is a high-precision KB that has reasonably \"comprehensive\" coverage of facts in the target domain, on the grounds that these are the facts that a domain application is likely to query about. This notion of KB comprehensiveness is an important but under-discussed aspect of knowledge bases. For example, in the automatic KB construction literature, while a KB's size is often reported, this does not reveal whether the KB is near-complete or merely a drop in the ocean of that required (Razniewski et al., 2016; Stanovsky and Dagan, 2016) . More formally, we define comprehensiveness as: recall at high (> 80%) precision of domainrelevant facts. This measure is similar to recall at the point P=80% on the PR curve, except recall is measured with respect to a different distribution of facts (namely facts about elementary science) rather than a held-out sample of data used to build the KB. is important is that the same precision point is used when comparing results. We choose 80% as subjectively reasonable; at least 4 out of 5 queries to the KB should be answered correctly. There are several ways this target distribution of required facts can be modeled. To fully realize the ambition of this metric, we would directly identify a sample of required end-task facts, e.g., by manual analysis of questions posed to the end-task system, or from logs of the interaction between the endtask system and the KB. However, given the practical challenges of doing this at scale, we take a simpler approach and approximate this end-task distribution using facts extracted from an (independent) domain-specific text corpus (we call this a reference corpus). Note that these facts are only a sample of domain-relevant facts, not the entirety. Otherwise, we could simply run our extractor over the reference corpus and have all we need. Now we are in a strong position, because the reference corpus gives us a fixed point of reference to measure comprehensiveness: we can sample facts from it and measure what fraction the KB \"knows\", i.e., can answer as true (Figure 4 ).",

To make the task clear, Turkers were shown the schema mapping rule (expressed in English) along with an example fact that was rewritten using that rule (to give a concrete example of its use), and they were asked to select one option \"correct or incorrect or unsure\" for each rewrite rule.

However, we believe that manually encoding types is a much simpler task as compared to manually defining all the schemas relevant for an individual domain.
