Named Entity Disambiguation for Resource-Poor Languages
Mohamed H. Gad-Elrab, Mohamed Amir Yosef, Gerhard Weikum · 2015
Named entity disambiguation (NED) is the task of linking ambiguous names in natural language text to canonical entities like people, organizations or places, registered in a knowledge base. The problem is well-studied for English text, but few systems have considered resource-poor languages that lack comprehensive name-entity dictionaries, entity descriptions, and large annotated training corpora.
