Unified Examination of Entity Linking in Absence of Candidate Sets (2024.naacl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Entity linking systems depend on candidate sets for their performance, but a comprehensive comparative analysis of these systems is lacking. |
| Approach: | They propose a black-box benchmark and a method to evaluate all state-of-the-art entity linking methods. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach reduces the inference time and memory footprint of some models. |
SpEL: Structured Prediction for Entity Linking (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Entity linking is a key component of structured data creation by linking spans of text to an ontology or knowledge source. |
| Approach: | They propose to use structured prediction for entity linking to classify each input token as an entity and aggregate the token predictions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system outperforms the state-of-the-art on the commonly used AIDA benchmark dataset for entity linking to Wikipedia. |
