Current approaches for learning such patterns include bootstrapping techniques<cite> (Huang and Riloff, 2012a</cite>; Yangarber et al., 2000) , weakly supervised learning algorithms (Huang and Riloff, 2011; Sudo et al., 2003; Surdeanu et al., 2006) , fully supervised learning approaches (Chieu et al., 2003; Freitag, 1998; Bunescu and Mooney, 2004; Patwardhan and Riloff, 2009 ) and other variations.
