ABSTRACT
Implementing the multilingual Semantic Web vision requires transforming unstructured data in multiple languages from the Document Web into structured data for the multilingual Web of Data. We present the multilingual version of FOX, a knowledge extraction suite which supports this migration by providing named entity recognition based on ensemble learning for five languages. Our evaluation results show that our approach goes beyond the performance of existing named entity recognition systems on all five languages. In our best run, we outperform the state of the art by a gain of 32.38% F1-Score points on a Dutch dataset. More information and a demo can be found at http://fox.aksw.org as well as an extended version of the paper descriping the evaluation in detail.
