The sole input to an OIE system is a corpus, and its output is a set of extracted relations.

The paper reports on TEXTRUNNER, the first scalable, domain-independent OIE system. TEXTRUNNER is a fully implemented system that extracts relational tuples from text. The tuples are assigned a probability and indexed to support efficient extraction and exploration via user queries.
The main contributions of this paper are to:
- Introduce Open Information Extraction (OIE) — a new extraction paradigm that obviates relation specificity by automatically discovering possible relations of interest while making only a single pass over its corpus.
- Introduce TEXTRUNNER, a fully implemented OIE system, and highlight the key elements of its novel architecture. The paper compares TEXTRUNNER experimentally with the state-of-the-art Web IE system, KNOWITALL, and show that TEXTRUNNER achieves a 33% relative error reduction for a comparable number of extractions.
- Report on statistics over TEXTRUNNER’s 11,000,000 highest probability extractions, which demonstrates its scalability, helps to assess the quality of its extractions, and suggests directions for future work.
