## Abstract

A method for automated decision making in an artificial intelligence task by fact-relevant open information extraction and knowledge graph generation includes obtaining a keyword query for performing the fact-relevant open information extraction and expanding the keyword query using keyword alias and query generation. The fact-relevant open information extraction is performed to extract triples from a text which contains the keyword or the keyword alias. The knowledge graph is generated using the extracted triples and an open knowledge graph (OpenKG) extractor that has been trained using keywords and aliases. Supervised or unsupervised classification is performed using the generated knowledge graph to make the automated decision in the artificial intelligence task.

## Claims

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method according to claim 2, further comprising displaying the aliases and queries to a user, and updating the aliases and/or the queries based on a user input.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising displaying the knowledge graph to a user, and pruning the knowledge graph based on a user input.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising pruning the generated knowledge graph by at least one of temporal, location or triple pruning.
