Directly adding the knowledge triples obtained from open information extraction systems into a knowledge base is often impractical due to a vocabulary gap between natural language (NL) expressions and knowledge base (KB) representation. This paper aims at learning to map relational phrases in triples from natural-language-like statement to knowledge base predicate format. We train a word representation model on a vector space and link each NL relational pattern to the semantically equivalent KB predicate. Our mapping result shows not only high quality, but also promising coverage on relational phrases compared to previous research.
