Bootstrapping Approach for Extracting Object Attribute Names from the Web
Yoshinori Hijikata, Shintaro Nomura, Fumitaka Nakane, Shogo Nishida · 2015
For accessing information on the Web related to an object, such as a product, human, or place, its attribute names and attribute values need to be extracted and stored in a database. Many researchers have tried to extract attribute values automatically, whereas only a small number of researchers have attempted to extract attribute names. Thus, we propose a method for extracting attribute names automatically. Our method adopts a bootstrapping algorithm which is popular for extracting attribute values. We propose several techniques that allow the successful application of this algorithm to attribute name extraction.
