Probase: A Probabilistic Taxonomy for Text Understanding

Summary: Universal, probabilistic taxonomy with 2.7M concepts learned from 1.68B web pages; models uncertainty instead of binary edges. Automatic, scalable construction enabling probabilistic text understanding at web scale; a data-management contribution in semantic knowledge modeling. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
