Cross-lingual Joint Entity and Word Embedding to Improve Entity Linking and Parallel Sentence Mining (D19-61)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Entities can be used as effective signals to generate less ambiguous semantic representations and align multiple languages. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to generate cross-lingual data that is a mix of entities and contextual words based on Wikipedia. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can generate cross-lingual data that is a mix of entities and contextual words based on Wikipedia . it provides reliable alignment on word/entity level and sentence level, and thus can be used for unsupervised cross-linguistic entity linking. |
