Goal:
To develop a probabilistic, symbolic knowledge base that mirrors the content of the world wide web. If successful, this will make text information on the web available in computer-understandable form, enabling much more sophisticated information retrieval and problem solving.

Approach:
We are developing a system that can be trained to extract symbolic knowledge from hypertext, using a variety of machine learning methods.
