NELL (Never Ending Language Learning)

Introduced in Toward an Architecture for Never-Ending Language Learning1 Jan 2010 archive 2025-07-28

NELL is a dataset built from the Web via an intelligent agent called Never-Ending Language Learner. This agent attempts to learn over time to read the web. NELL has accumulated over 50 million candidate beliefs by reading the web, and it is considering these at different levels of confidence. NELL has high confidence in 2,810,379 of these beliefs.

5 shown of 5 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 177. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
