  Open domain relation extraction systems identify relation and argument
phrases in a sentence without relying on any underlying schema. However,
current state-of-the-art relation extraction systems are available only for
English because of their heavy reliance on linguistic tools such as
part-of-speech taggers and dependency parsers. We present a cross-lingual
annotation projection method for language independent relation extraction. We
evaluate our method on a manually annotated test set and present results on
three typologically different languages. We release these manual annotations
and extracted relations in 61 languages from Wikipedia.
