This retrospective article discusses the mutual bootstrapping technique for weakly supervised learning of extraction patterns and semantic lexicons from unstructured text, originally published in AAAI'99 (Riloff and Jones 1999). We present an overview of the mutual bootstrapping approach, describe related research that has followed from the original work, and discuss lessons learned about bootstrapped learning for natural language processing.
