Design Challenges in Low-resource Cross-lingual Entity Linking (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing techniques for grounding mentions of entities in a foreign language do not rise to the challenges introduced by text in low-resource languages (LRL) and fail to generalize to text not taken from Wikipedia, on which they are usually trained. |
| Approach: | They propose a cross-lingual XEL technique that uses search engines to locate and search for foreign language entries in Wikipedia. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system shows an increase of 25% in gold candidate recall and 13% in end-to-end linking accuracy over state-of-the-art baselines. |
