Knowledge Expansion over Probabilistic Knowledge Bases

Summary: ProbKB: a probabilistic knowledge base with a formal relational model and batch SQL-based inference. Scales on massively parallel DBMS; quality controls prune rules, facts, and entities to improve precision and throughput versus prior engines. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
