Enhancing Open Information Extraction with Focused Entailment Graphs
Explore how Focused Entailment Graphs improve Open Information Extraction (Open IE) by structuring propositions and their entailment relations. These graphs help consolidate natural language expressions like "relieve headache" and "treat headache" to organize data hierarchically for better understanding. By adding structure to Open IE, paraphrases can be merged into mutual entailment cliques, facilitating the extraction of valuable information.

Focused Entailment Graphs for Open IE Propositions Omer Levy Ido Dagan Bar-Ilan University, Israel Jacob Goldberger
Open IE Extracts propositions from text which makes aspirin relieve headaches. ???????,???????, ????? ? No supervision No pre-defined schema
Whats missing in Open IE? Structure Open IE does not consolidate natural language expressions relieveheadache treatheadache
Adding Structure to Open IE Which structure? Build a graph of Open IE propositions and their semantic relations
Adding Structure to Open IE Which structure? Build a graph of Open IE propositions and their entailment relations Why entailment? Merges paraphrases into mutual entailment cliques aspirin relievesheadache aspirin treatsheadache Organizes information hierarchically from specific to general aspirin relievesheadache painkiller relieves headache

Our Contributions Structuring Open IE withProposition Entailment Graphs Dataset: 30 gold-standard graphs, 1.5 million entailment annotations Algorithm for constructing Focused Proposition Entailment Graphs Analysis: Predicate entailment is not quite what we thought
Related Work: Predicate Predicate Entailment Graphs Berant et al. (2010,2011,2012) We extend Berant et al. s work from predicates to propositions
Focused Proposition Entailment Graphs Nodes: Open IE propositions Edges: Textual Entailment
Focused Proposition Entailment Graphs Assumptions: Binary Propositions and Common Topic Binary Propositions 1,??,?? 2 ??= ?? Focused on a common topic ? ??= (?,??,??) ??= (??,??,?)

Focused Proposition Entailment Graphs Edges: Textual Entailment ??= (?,??,??) ??= (??,??,?) Proposition Entailment Simpler than sentence-level entailment More complicated than lexical entailment Enables investigation of inference phenomena in an isolated manner
Constructing Proposition Entailment Graphs Task Definition: Given a set of propositions ??, find all their entailment edges.
Dataset: High-Quality Open IE Propositions Google s Syntactic N-grams Based on millions of books Filter for subject-verb-object Including prepositional objects and passive Result: 68 million high-quality propositions
Dataset: Annotating Entailment Graphs Select 30 healthcare topics antibiotic, caffeine, insomnia, scurvy, Collect a set of propositions focused on each topic Manually clean noisy extractions Retaining ~200 propositions per graph (average) Efficiently annotate entailment 1.5 million entailment judgments

Investigating Context Context- -Sensitive Sensitive Entailment Recent work on context-sensitive lexical inference e.g. (Melamud et al., 2013) Previous datasets Lexical substitution (McCarthy and Navigli, 2007) Predicate inference (Zeichner et al., 2012) We offer a new dataset of real-world lexical entailments in context! Sample: synthetic vs naturally occurring Size: several thousands vs 1.5 million
