ABSTRACT
Given a set of automatically extracted entities E of size n, we would like to cluster all the various names referring to the same canonical entity together. The variations of each entity include acronyms, full name, and informal naming conventions. We propose using search engine results to cluster variations of each entity based on the URLs appearing in those results. We create a cluster C for each top search result returned by querying for the entity e ∈ E assigning e to the cluster C. Our experiments on a manually created dataset shows that our approach achieves higher precision and recall than string matching algorithm and hierarchical clustering based disambiguation methods.

Entity disambiguation with hierarchical topic models
KDD '11: Proceedings of the 17th ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data miningDisambiguating entity references by annotating them with unique ids from a catalog is a critical step in the enrichment of unstructured content. In this paper, we show that topic models, such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and its hierarchical ...
Evaluating Entity Linking with Wikipedia
Named Entity Linking (nel) grounds entity mentions to their corresponding node in a Knowledge Base (kb). Recently, a number of systems have been proposed for linking entity mentions in text to Wikipedia pages. Such systems typically search for candidate ...
