报告摘要:

Mentions of named entities such as people, places, and organizations are commonplace in documents. However, these mentions are usually ambiguous: the same entity may be mentioned in different surface forms, and the same surface form may refer to different named entities. Collective entity disambiguation or collective entity linking aims to jointly resolve multiple mentions by linking them to their associated entities in a knowledge base. Previous works are primarily based on the underlying assumption that entities within the same document are highly related. We challenge this assumption and propose Pair-Linking, a novel iterative solution for collective entity disambiguation. Instead of considering all the given mentions, Pair-Linking iteratively selects a pair with the highest confidence at each step for decision making.
