    Abstract

    Knowledge bases of entities and relations (either constructed manually or
    automatically) are behind many real world search engines, including those at
    Yahoo!, Microsoft, and Google. Those knowledge bases can be viewed as graphs
    with nodes representing entities and edges representing (primary)
    relationships, and various studies have been conducted on how to leverage them
    to answer entity seeking queries. Meanwhile, in a complementary direction,
    analyses over the query logs have enabled researchers to identify entity pairs
    that are statistically correlated.
