Entity Linking
Krisztian Balog · The Kluwer international series on information retrieval · 2018
Being able to identify entities in a document is a key step toward understanding what the document is about. Entity linking refers to the process of annotating an input text with entity identifiers from a reference knowledge repository. We present a canonical pipeline approach to entity linking that consists of mention detection, candidate selection, and disambiguation components. Then, we look at each of these components in detail. We further discuss evaluation methodology, test collections, and publicly available entity linking systems.
