Kleo is a bootstrapping learning-by-reading system
that builds a knowledge base in a fully automated way
by reading texts for a domain. Kleo’s initial knowledge
base is a small knowledge base that consists of
domain independent knowledge and KLEO expands the
knowledge base with the information extracted from
texts. A key facility in Kleo is knowledge integration
which combines new information gleaned from individual
sentences of the texts, along with prior knowledge,
to form a comprehensive and computationally useful
knowledge base. This paper introduces the architecture
of Kleo, especially the knowledge integration facility,
and presents our evaluation plan.
