Contrastive Entity Coreference and Disambiguation for Historical Texts (2024.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for disambiguating historical documents are not accurate for historical documents, which are replete with individuals not remembered in contemporary knowledge bases. |
| Approach: | They propose to train bi-encoder models for coreferencing and disambiguating individuals in historical texts and evaluate them on a historical newswire benchmark. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models on the historical newswire benchmark and on other datasets. |
