Abstract
Open domain relation extraction systems identify relation and argument phrases in a
sentence without relying on any underlying schema. However, current
state-of-the-art relation extraction systems are available only for English because
of their heavy reliance on linguistic tools such as part-of-speech taggers and
dependency parsers. We present a cross-lingual annotation projection method for
language independent relation extraction. We evaluate our method on a manually
annotated test set and present results on three typologically different languages.
We release these manual annotations and extracted relations in ten languages from
Wikipedia.
