In plain words: A new knowledge graph records how everyday actions, states, and events connect, mined from 11 billion tokens of text. Unlike usual graphs that only store facts about things, it holds 194 million events, and tests showed its links are accurate and useful.

Abstract · ASER: A Large-scale Eventuality Knowledge Graph

Understanding human's language requires complex world knowledge. However, existing large-scale knowledge graphs mainly focus on knowledge about entities while ignoring knowledge about activities, states, or events, which are used to describe how entities or things act in the real world. To fill this gap, we develop ASER (activities, states, events, and their relations), a large-scale eventuality knowledge graph extracted from more than 11-billion-token unstructured textual data. ASER contains 15 relation types belonging to five categories, 194-million unique eventualities, and 64-million unique edges among them. Both intrinsic and extrinsic evaluations demonstrate the quality and effectiveness of ASER.
