Multi-Document Relationship Fusion via Constraints on Probabilistic Databases
Gideon S. Mann · 2007
Previous multi-document relationship ex-traction and fusion research has focused on single relationships. Shifting the fo-cus to multiple relationships allows for the use of mutual constraints to aid extrac-tion. This paper presents a fusion method which uses a probabilistic database model to pick relationships which violate few constraints. This model allows improved performance on constructing corporate succession timelines from multiple doc-uments with respect to a multi-document fusion baseline. 1
