TL;DR: This work proposes an approach and a set of design principles for an intelligent computer agent that runs forever and describes a partial implementation of such a system that has already learned to extract a knowledge base containing over 242,000 beliefs.

TL;DR: This paper characterize several ways in which the training of category and relation extractors can be coupled, and presents experimental results demonstrating significantly improved accuracy as a result.

TL;DR: The Never-Ending Language Learner (NELL) as discussed by the authors is a case study of a machine learning system that learns to read the Web 24hrs/day since January 2010, and so far has acquired a knowledge base with 120mn diverse, confidence-weighted beliefs (e.g., servedWith(tea,biscuits), while learning thousands of interrelated functions that continually improve its reading competence over time.

TL;DR: The Never-Ending Language Learner (NELL) as discussed by the authors is a machine learning system that learns to read the web 24 hours/day since January 2010, and so far has acquired a knowledge base with over 80 million confidence-weighted beliefs (e.g., servedWith(tea, biscuits), while continuously improving its reading competence over time.

TL;DR: Experimental results show that simultaneously learning a coupled collection of classifiers for 30 categories and relations results in much more accurate extractions than training classifiers individually.
