Query-Driven On-The-Fly Knowledge Base Construction
Summary: Query-driven, on-the-fly KB construction for emerging topics enables timely, topic-focused fact gathering. Semantic-graph IE combines NER, coreference, and relation extraction to produce canonical, higher-arity predicates for ad-hoc QA. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
