We provide a detailed overview of the various approaches that were proposed
to date to solve the task of Open Information Extraction. We present the major
challenges that such systems face, show the evolution of the suggested
approaches over time and depict the specific issues they address. In addition,
we provide a critique of the commonly applied evaluation procedures for
assessing the performance of Open IE systems and highlight some directions for
future work.Comment: 27th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING
