Our KnowItAll research project is focused on Machine Reading of the World Wide Web.

I'm looking for strong postdocs, students, programmers. If you're interested, e-mail
me your resume and I'll be in touch if there's a good fit .

Talk Video: Open Information Extraction at Web Scale (IJCAI '11)

Demos:

Check out ReVerb, our open-source extractor, which extracted over 1,000,000,000 assertions from the Web .
Check out RevMiner, an open extractor for user reviews currently applied to venues in Seattle.
