CERES: Distantly Supervised Relation Extraction from the Semi-Structured Web

Summary: CERES uses distant supervision for relation extraction on semi-structured sites by aligning a knowledge base with site structure. Classifier trained on noisy labels achieves annotation parity, scales to 400k pages and 1.25M facts at ~90% precision. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
