Data set with source page info

2013-04-29T09:01:51Z

Hi all,
I am currently working with the NELL data set. However, is it possible to
have the extraction source page information for a fact ? It has the snippet
which makes NELL think the fact to be true to some extent. Will be nice if
the source page information can be readily retrieved somehow.
Any ideas or pointers?

NELL using illegal characters in hashtags

2013-04-27T05:51:12Z

Hello!
I'm pretty sure that NELL is trying to use strings that contain illegal
characters as hashtags in its (his? her?) tweets. An example is attached in
a screen shot, where I think the intent was to tag something
"USPolitician", but it got tagged "U" incorrectly because of some stray
periods.

NELL license and relicensing + NELL in RDF

2013-03-27T09:21:12Z

With some colleagues, we have translated NELL's data into RDF, and NELL's
ontology in OWL. We set up a SPARQL endpoint with which to query the data.
We want to publish this and make our RDFised dataset available for download
under an open license.
However, as far as I can tell, there is no license attached to NELL's

NELL and Neo4J

Hi
Wondering if there is a Neo4J version of NELL available? I found this video

Found a bug and questions about meaning of some predicates

2013-02-17T17:51:12Z

Dear all,
Regarding the latest updates of Nell ontology
([link]),
I suspect there is an erroneous class.
When running :
I got only two lines, as follows:
This property does not go with a triple whose predicate would be
rtwrelation. All the other properties however do, like leaderofcountry

Hi
Anybody know of any research to develop a Similarity Kernel from NELL?
Many thanks

Character Traits

2013-01-21T11:02:08Z

Under "character traits", NELL has classified many things that aren't
character traits, such as, "quality book", "quality clothing", "quality
equipment", the list goes on. These things in and of themselves are not
character traits by the definition *habitual patterns of behavior, thought,
and emotion*, in fact, the word "quality" itself doesn't define as a

Forms of feedback

2012-11-25T19:34:42Z

I tweeted some of this stuff to @cmunell, but I just read that that goes
back to the bot, so I'll repeat it here.
The +/- feedback mechanism, while simple, is limiting and misses a lot of
information. Asking whether "Hand Texas" is a bone misses the fact that it
isn't a concept at all, just two words randomly plucked out of a set of

New Relations

2012-10-06T18:20:00Z

Does NELL try to automatically learn new relations between
objects/concepts? Or do all relations have to be hard-coded in?

Hi Stephen,

The formatting here developed in an ad hoc fashion, so you'll have to put
up with some lengthy answers. But it will be good to have this explained
publicly.

Basically, NELL has a handful of different algorithms that it uses to
gather evidence for new beliefs. SEAL, CMC, and CPL are the three that do

Deserializer for 'every belief in the KB' file

2012-08-22T22:01:12Z

Hello,
I'm an undergraduate researcher at the University of Washington working
under Oren Etzioni's research group -- I believe some members of my group
have contacted you in the past.
I'm currently working on incorporating the NELL corpus into our project's
demo, OpenIE <[link]>.

Nell updates, performance

2012-05-26T22:07:43Z

Hi,

Is NELL's code being updated periodically, perhaps frequently? If so,
has precision gone up and is there maybe an updated version of the
number of assertions in the KB over time with precision estimates,
like the chart on the overview page?

Thanks...

about NELL API

2012-05-17T07:58:04Z

Dear NELL team:

I am a graduate student. My research area is about analogy
retrieval and analogy mapping. I am fascinated by the large data NELL
read from the web. I wonder if there is any API that I can use to
access the dataset? I'd appreciate it if any information is provided.
Thank you very much in advance.
