Abstract: We report on experiments for the Re-lated Entity Finding task in which we focus on only using Wikipedia as a target corpus in which to identify (related) entitities. Our approach is based on co-occurrences between the source entity and potential target entities. We observe improve-ments in performance when a context-independent co-occurrence model is combined with context-dependent co-occurrence models in which we stress the importance of the expected relation be-tween source and target entity. Applying type fil-tering yields further improvements results. 1
