Extraction (IE) based on a syntactic-semantic analysis of textual
definitions. Given a large corpus of definitions we leverage syntactic
dependencies to reduce data sparsity, then disambiguate the arguments and
content words of the relation strings, and finally exploit the resulting
information to organize the acquired relations hierarchically. The output of
DefIE is a high-quality knowledge base consisting of several million
automatically acquired semantic relations.},
