Open Information Extraction (OpenIE) facilitates domain-independent discovery of relational facts from large corpora. The technique well suits many open-world natural language understanding scenarios, such as automatic knowledge base construction, open-domain question answering, and explicit reasoning. Thanks to the rapid development in deep learning technologies, numerous neural OpenIE architectures have been proposed and achieve considerable performance improvement. In this survey, we provide an extensive overview of the state-of-the-art neural OpenIE models, their key design decisions, strengths and weakness. Then, we discuss limitations of current solutions and the open issues in OpenIE problem itself. Finally we list recent trends that could help expand its scope and applicability, setting up promising directions for future research in OpenIE. To our best knowledge, this paper is the first review on neural OpenIE.
