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](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/snow-2008-cheap-fast-but-is-it/)** *(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… ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Distant supervision for relation extraction without labeled data](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mintz-2009-distant-supervision-relation-extraction-without/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Mike Mintz, Steven Bills, Rion Snow, et al.*2009 · 3,481 citations* 2. **[Learning Syntactic Patterns for Automatic Hypernym Discovery ↗](https://openalex.org/W2142086811) neural information processing systems · no summary yet**Rion Snow, Daniel S.
