1. A method, comprising: obtaining a set of candidates and corresponding contexts, each of the set of candidates being a potential seed example of an entity; comparing the contexts of at least a portion of the set of candidates with contexts of a set of seed examples of the entity such that a subset of the set of candidates are added to the set of the seed examples; creating a set of rules from the set of seed examples obtained in the comparing step; and generating a final set of seed examples of the entity by executing the set of rules against the set of candidates.
