In addition, our system is also competitive when compared to supervised approaches, being it only 5 points lower than the Class-Example method, while it does not require seed examples and syntactic parsing.
in the literature, the fine-grained classification task has been approached by adopting weakly supervised (Tanev and Magnini, 2006;Fleischman and Hovy, 2002) or unsupervised methods (Cimiano and Völker, 2005).
