Abstract：Extracting knowledge from Web tables is an important way to obtain high-quality knowledge, which is of substantial significance in knowledge graph, Web mining, etc. In contrast to classical methods defected in depending on a good table structure or enough pre-existing knowledge, we propose a novel method of Web table knowledge extraction based on fast clustering with equivalent compression for large-scale Web tables. By making full use of the structural characteristics of tables, we obtain tables with similar structures in an unsupervised clustering manner, and then infer the semantic structure of similar tables for knowledge extraction. The results show that the proposed clustering algorithm decreases the clustering time of 5,000 tables from 72 hours to 20 minutes at the same level of clustering accuracy, and the accuracy of the knowledge triples obtained by table templates after table clustering indicates that our method is highly satisfactory.
