Biperpedia: An Ontology for Search Applications
Summary: Biperpedia builds a 1.6M (class, attribute)-pair ontology from search queries and text, storing attribute synonyms and patterns. Its broad attribute coverage enables long-tail fact understanding and recovers Web-table semantics over 4× better than Freebase. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
