SemEval-2015 Task 13: Multilingual All-Words Sense Disambiguation and Entity Linking
Andrea Moro, Roberto Navigli · 2015
In this paper we present the Multilingual All-Words Sense Disambiguation and Entity Linking task.Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) and Entity Linking (EL) are well-known problems in the Natural Language Processing field and both address the lexical ambiguity of language.Their main difference lies in the kind of meaning inventories that are used: EL uses encyclopedic knowledge, while WSD uses lexicographic information.Our aim with this task is to analyze whether, and if so, how, using a resource that integrates both kinds of inventories (i.e., BabelNet 2.5.1)might enable WSD and EL to be solved by means of similar (even, the same) methods.Moreover, we investigate this task in a multilingual setting and for some specific domains.
