Liberal Information Extraction: Heng Ji (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute)
>david reserve seat
We propose a brand new "Liberal" Information Extraction (IE) paradigm to combine the merits of traditional IE (high quality and fine granularity) and Open IE (high scalability).
Liberal IE aims to discover schemas and extract facts from any input corpus, without any annotated training data or predefined schema.

Buying a bike
What to buy:
* "hybrid bike" works best
* you'll have to go there and get it
* reserve 20 quid to adjust random stuff
Where to buy:
* 100% just get in on Gumtree for like 60 quid
* look for something good that "needs a bit of repair" as nobody will touch it, and you won't actually need to repair it
* shops are a waste of time
* ReCycle was good (when I got a nice Trek there for 90 pounds in 2014)!!!
Size:
* "Typical "medium" sizes are 54 or 56 cm (approximately 21.2 or 22 inches) for a European men's racing bicycle or 46 cm (about 18.5 inches) for a men's mountain bicycle"
* so for mountain bikes: for 6 feet (182cm) = 21" bike, for 5'8" (172 cm) = 18" bike
