Entity Disambiguation Based on UCL Knowledge Space

Abstract

Named entity disambiguation is an important task in the process of knowledge space construction and improvement, which builds a bridge between entities in text and entities in knowledge space. However, the existing entity disambiguation methods mainly rely on the similar or related entities in the context. For the short text widely appeared in the practical application scenarios, the performance of the existing methods drops sharply. In this paper, we propose an entity disambiguation method based on Uniform Content Label knowledge space (UCLKS-ED). This method uses UCL knowledge space to provide additional knowledge information for the matching task of candidate entities and the source entity, and extends the representation of the source entity by conceptualizing. The experimental results on a large manually annotated short-text dataset and another standard dataset demonstrate that the proposed method achieves significant improvement over the state-of-the-art baselines.
