A language modeling approach to entity recognition and disambiguation for search queries
Bhavana Bharat Dalvi, Chenyan Xiong, Jamie Callan · 2014
The Entity Recognition and Disambiguation (ERD) problem refers to the task of recognizing mentions of entities in a given query string, disambiguating them, and mapping them to entities in a given Knowledge Base(KB). If there are multiple ways to interpret the query, then an ERD system is supposed to group candidate entity annotations into consistent interpretations.
