Incremental knowledge base construction using DeepDive

Anything you'd add to the list?) Regular readers will no doubt have noticed that these are the subject areas I most often cover on The Morning Paper. I've chosen today's paper as representative of a large body of work at Stanford on a system called DeepDive. DeepDive sits at a very interesting intersection of the above topics, and its goal is to build a knowledge base – stored in a relational database – from information in large volumes of semi-structured and unstructured data. Such data is sometimes called dark data, and creating a knowledge base from it is the task of knowledge base construction (KBC).
