Knowledge Harvesting in the Big-Data Era

Summary: Survey of scalable knowledge harvesting from Web/text for large KBs (DBpedia/Freebase/YAGO), stressing distributed extraction and entity-centric analytics. Highlights expanding entities/facts, multilingual/temporal coverage, commonsense knowledge, disambiguation, and cross-source sameAs linking; outlines data-management challenges.
