A Demonstration of Sya: A Spatial Probabilistic Knowledge Base Construction System
Summary: Sya is a spatial probabilistic KB builder extending DeepDive to leverage spatial relations during extraction. Demo on a crime KB shows the workflow and a clear advantage over DeepDive with a spatial language, spatial SQL, and probabilistic inference. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
