Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for extracting instance attributes from text are described. In one aspect, a method exploits weakly-supervised and unsupervised instance relatedness data, available in the form of labeled classes of instances and distributionally similar instances. The method organizes the data into a graph containing instances, class labels, and attributes. The method propagates attributes among related instances, through random walks over the graph.
