1. Distant supervision for relation extraction without labeled data (2009 · 3,481 citations)
   The paper addresses the automatic extraction of semantic relations between entities from text. Classical methods require a manually annotated corpus (e.g., ACE), so data are scarce and performance degrades outside the subject domain. The authors propose a distant supervision scheme in which the Freebase knowledge…
2. Cheap and Fast – But is it Good? Evaluating Non-Expert Annotations for Natural Language Tasks (2008 · 399 citations)
   Expert linguistic annotation is slow and costly. This paper asks whether crowds of paid non-experts on Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) can stand in for specialists. The authors picked five tasks for which expert gold labels already existed: judging emotion in text (affect recognition), rating how similar pairs of words…
