Precision at 3 is unparalleled!
I built it on a grid!
But mine’s just as good!
No Perl at all...it’s pure Python!
It uses the Cyc upper-upper ontology!
It’s isomorphic with ground truth!
My extraction from text is state-of-the-art!
It uses DBPedia!
Gottabe’s theorem shows it quite
clearly!
I spot-checked the Justin Bieber entry – absolutely correct!
wc gives identical word counts! Identical!
I Crushed the attire-based entity matching
shared task at WebWorld Passions 2009! Grishman, eat
your heart out!

without a ground-truth KB!without alignment!without committing to a fixed KB formalism!
