This paper describes the Intelius-NYU 2012 system for the KBP Cold Start task. The Cold Start task can be decomposed into two subtasks: slot filling and entity linking. For slot filling, we focus on the adaptation of the NYU 2011 regular slot filling system to the Cold Start task. For entity linking, we apply Intelius‘s commercial conflation engine to link person and organization entities with minimal tuning for the Cold Start task. We also developed a voting-based entity linking system for geo-political entities.
