Distributional statistics of entities and their Co - occurrence on the

web, Under the guidance of Prof. Sunita Sarawagi, IIT Bombay
Machine learning and information extraction
Given a knowledge base such as Yago or Freebase consisting of entities and relations,
and the Web, our goal is to attach reliable estimates of the frequency of occurrences on
the Web of various entities and relations as singletons, pairs (ordered and unordered) in
a sentence.
