| Challenge: | Existing work deals with EL in the context of longer text, such as a sentence. |
| Approach: | They propose a neuro-symbolic approach that uses interpretable rules based on first-order logic to achieve better performance with black-box neural approaches. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach achieves better performance than heuristics-based approaches on short-text EL . it can easily blend existing rule templates with multiple types of features, and even with scores resulting from previous EL methods. |
