We propose a method that incorporates paraphrase information from the Web to boost the performance of a supervised relation extraction system. Contextual information is extracted from the Web using a semi-supervised process, and summarized by skip-bigram overlap measures over the entire extract. This allows the capture of local contextual information as well as more distant associations. We obs...

This process is often imprecise in its methods as it is difficult to know if a data...
