This paper trains a semantic parser that scales up to Freebase and outperforms their state-of-the-art parser on the dataset of Cai and Yates (2013), despite not having annotated logical forms.
Abstract
In this paper, we train a semantic parser that scales up to Freebase. Instead of relying on annotated logical forms, which is especially expensive to obtain at large scale, we learn from question-answer pairs. The main challenge in this setting is narrowing down the huge number of possible logical predicates for a given question. We tackle this problem in two ways: First, we build a coarse mapping from phrases to predicates using a knowledge base and a large text corpus. Second, we use a bridging operation to generate additional predicates based on neighboring predicates. On the dataset of Cai and Yates (2013), despite not having annotated logical forms, our system outperforms their state-of-the-art parser. Additionally, we collected a more realistic and challenging dataset of question-answer pairs and improves over a natural baseline.

TriviaQA: A Large Scale Distantly Supervised Challenge Dataset for Reading Comprehension

TL;DR: It is shown that, in comparison to other recently introduced large-scale datasets, TriviaQA has relatively complex, compositional questions, has considerable syntactic and lexical variability between questions and corresponding answer-evidence sentences, and requires more cross sentence reasoning to find answers.

Adaptive Subgradient Methods for Online Learning and Stochastic Optimization.

TL;DR: Adaptive subgradient methods as discussed by the authors dynamically incorporate knowledge of the geometry of the data observed in earlier iterations to perform more informative gradient-based learning, which allows us to find needles in haystacks in the form of very predictive but rarely seen features.

Adaptive Subgradient Methods for Online Learning and Stochastic Optimization

TL;DR: This work describes and analyze an apparatus for adaptively modifying the proximal function, which significantly simplifies setting a learning rate and results in regret guarantees that are provably as good as the best proximal functions that can be chosen in hindsight.

Automatic acquisition of hyponyms from large text corpora

TL;DR: A set of lexico-syntactic patterns that are easily recognizable, that occur frequently and across text genre boundaries, and that indisputably indicate the lexical relation of interest are identified.

Toward an architecture for never-ending language learning

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.

Open information extraction from the web

TL;DR: Open Information Extraction (OIE) as mentioned in this paper is a new extraction paradigm where the system makes a single data-driven pass over its corpus and extracts a large set of relational tuples without requiring any human input.
