Mentioned in , ACL 09, Mintz et al.
The distant supervision assumption is that if two entities participate in a relation, any sentence that contain those two entities might express that relation.
Which is easy to understand. But, what does "distant" mean in distant supervision? Or how do we define "distant"?
E.g Given a weekly-supervised training set generalization method that differs from the quoted methed. How do we define is it "distant supervised" or "non-distant supervised"? what is the boundary? I'm recently confused by this.
