| Challenge: | a proposed entity linking model that disjointly applies MD and ED from the same contextualized BERT embeddings is able to generalize better. |
| Approach: | They propose an entity linking (EL) model that jointly learns mention detection (MD) and entity disambiguation (ED) they propose to use task-specific heads on top of shared BERT contextualized embeddings to learn MD and ED. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art results across a standard EL dataset and under a setting where hand-crafted candidate sets are not available. |

Towards Consistent Document-level Entity Linking: Joint Models for Entity Linking and Coreference Resolution (2022.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to solve entity linking (EL) jointly with coreference resolution (coref) a coreferenced cluster can only be linked to a single entity or NIL (i.e., a nonlinkable entity) |
| Approach: | They propose to join entity linking and coreference resolution in a single structured prediction task over directed trees and use a globally normalized model to solve it. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves on two datasets with a +5% boost in accuracy compared to standalone models . the proposed model is based on current models that predict a single antecedent for each span to resolve . |
Fine-Grained Evaluation for Entity Linking (D19-1)

| Challenge: | Entity Linking (EL) is an Information Extraction task that identifies entity mentions in a text corpus and associates them with an unambiguous identifier in KBs such as Wikipedia, BabelNet, DBpedia, Wikidata and YAGO. |
| Approach: | They propose a fine-grained categorization of different types of entity mentions and links and propose 'fuzzy recall' metric to address the lack of consensus and compare a selection of online EL systems. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task offers a bridge between unstructured text and structured KBs, where EL has applications for semantic search, document classification, relation extraction, and more. |

| Challenge: | Existing state-of-the-art ED models do not address out-of vocabulary entities that are absent from training data. |

| Outcome: | The proposed model performs comparable to existing models whose embeddings are trained for all candidate entities as well as embedd-free models. |
