Update

Focusing on system development.

1. Online components implemented. See System development status for details.

• Proposition generator
  
• Evidence finder -- Tuple matching over Open IE Clueweb data.
  
• 
  

2. Components tested using ...

• 
  
• 
  
• 
  

3. Evaluation...

• Vulcan has a good evaluation interface setup. We will use this for starters.
  
• 
  
• 
  

Design questions.

1. Why not use MLN directly? Why use a backward chained inferencer (such as Jena) as an intermediate step?

• Looks like a separte backward-chained inferencer won't be necessary.
  
• Tuffy, an MLN implementation, does KBMC to scale MLN inference. Details [1]
  

Analysis

1. Selected 10 propositions that are single Open IE tuples as starting targets.

2. Wrote down steps involved in verifying these propositions.
