Towards Cross-lingual Patent Wikification
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of cross-lingual patent wikification, which links technical terms in a patent application document to their corresponding Wikipedia articles in different languages. The number of links increases definitely because different language versions of Wikipedia cover different sets of technical terms. We present an experiment of Japanese-to-English cross-lingual anchor text extraction using a dedicated technical term extraction system and a patent parallel corpus. Cross-lingual anchor text extraction retrieves about 10% more technical terms linked to Wikipedia articles than monolingual extraction. We also show that restricting anchor texts to technical terms in a specified Wikipedia category has effect of reducing the number of destination article candidates.

Cross-lingual Wikification Using Multilingual Embeddings
Cross-lingual Wikification is the task of grounding mentions written in non-English documents to entries in the English Wikipedia. This task involves the problem of comparing textual clues across languages, which requires developing a notion of similarity between text snippets across languages. In this paper, we address this problem by jointly training multilingual embeddings for words and Wiki...
متن کاملLearning Better Name Translation for Cross-Lingual Wikification
A notable challenge in cross-lingual wikification is the problem of retrieving English Wikipedia title candidates given a non-English mention, a step that requires translating names written in a foreign language into English. Creating training data for name translation requires significant amount of human efforts. In order to cover as many languages as possible, we propose a probabilistic model...
متن کاملCross-Lingual Named Entity Recognition via Wikification
Named Entity Recognition (NER) models for language L are typically trained using annotated data in that language. We study cross-lingual NER, where a model for NER in L is trained on another, source, language (or multiple source languages). We introduce a language independent method for NER, building on cross-lingual wikification, a technique that grounds words and phrases in nonEnglish text in...
متن کاملIllinois Cross-Lingual Wikifier: Grounding Entities in Many Languages to the English Wikipedia
We release a cross-lingual wikification system for all languages in Wikipedia. Given a piece of text in any supported language, the system identifies names of people, locations, organizations, and grounds these names to the corresponding English Wikipedia entries. The system is based on two components: a cross-lingual named entity recognition (NER) model and a crosslingual mention grounding mod...
متن کاملIntegrating Query Translation and Text Classification in a Cross-Language Patent Access System
In this paper, a cross-language patent retrieval and classification system is presented to integrate the query translation using various free web translators on the internet and the document classification. The language-independent indexing method was used to process the multilingual patent documents, and the query translation method was used to translate the query from the source language to t...
