| Challenge: | Existing studies on entity linking focus on linking entities to knowledge bases, but on social media platforms, such as Yelp, it can be more practical. |
| Approach: | They propose to link entities within a social media platform with a new entity linking problem. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can link business mentions to corresponding businesses on a social media platform. |

Improving Entity Linking by Modeling Latent Relations between Mentions (P18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Entity linking systems often exploit relations between textual mentions to decide if the linking decisions are compatible. |
| Approach: | They treat relations as latent variables while optimizing the neural entity-linking model without supervision. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms its relation-agnostic version and significantly outperformed its relational version. |
Fine-Grained Evaluation for Entity Linking (D19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| 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. |
Learn to Not Link: Exploring NIL Prediction in Entity Linking (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Entity linking models have been successful in capturing semantic features, but the NIL prediction problem has not been addressed. |
| Approach: | They propose an entity linking dataset that categorizes mentions linking to NIL into Missing Entity and Non-Entity Phrases. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset categorizes mentions linking to NIL into Missing Entity and Non-Entity Phrase categories and ensures the presence of mentions by human annotation and entity masking. |
Joint Learning of Named Entity Recognition and Entity Linking (P19-2)
