New York University 2011 system for KBP slot filling
Ang Sun, Ralph Grishman, Wei Hong Xu, Bonan Min · 2011
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 baseline system and describe the distant supervision and QA components. Following that, we report on this year‟s results, including the contribution of the individual system components.
