Relationships are represented as Subject → Predicate → Object triples. Confidence describes extraction strength, not the real-world importance of a relationship; lower-confidence rows may be contextual rather than explicit.
TTTA extracted 81 structured relationships around Xikang. Examples in this analysis include Xikang → Capital → Kangding (1912–1931) Ba'an (1931–1935) Ya'an (1935–1936) Kangding (1935–1949) Xichang (1949–1950) and Xikang → Historical era → 20th century. The table shows each extracted connection, where it came from and its confidence.
Concept neighborhoods group terms that sit near one another in the extracted graph. They are useful for discovering adjacent language and context, but proximity does not by itself imply a factual relationship.
The concept neighborhoods around Xikang bring nearby vocabulary together. In this analysis, examples include Ya'an, Committee and Government. Use the clusters to find adjacent concepts and terminology that may deserve separate research.
