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.

Improving Entity Linking through Semantic Reinforced Entity Embeddings (2020.acl-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing entity embeddings are effective, but too distinctive for linking models to learn contextual commonality.
Approach: They propose a method to inject fine-grained semantic information into entity embeddings . they use word embedds of type words to generate semantic embeddngs based on existing embeddables a sample of semantic information is injected into the embedded entities .
Outcome: The proposed method reduces the distinctiveness of existing embeddings and improves performance.
