Abstract

A computer-implemented technique is described herein for extracting facts from unstructured text documents provided by one or more information sources. The technique uses a pipeline to perform this operation that involves, at least in part, providing a corpus of information items, extracting candidate facts from the information items, merging synonymous argument values associated with the candidate facts, organizing the candidate facts into relation clusters, and assessing the confidence level of the candidate facts within the relation clusters.
