Abstract

Massive knowledge resources, such as Wikidata, can provide valuable information for lexical inference, especially for proper-names. Prior resource-based approaches typically select the subset of each resource’s relations which are relevant for a particular given task. The selection process is done manually, limiting these approaches to smaller resources such as WordNet, which lacks coverage of proper-names and recent terminology. This paper presents a supervised framework for automatically selecting an optimized subset of resource relations for a given target inference task. Our approach enables the use of large-scale knowledge resources, thus providing a rich source of high-precision inferences over proper-names.1
