Kanopy4Tweets: Entity Extraction and Linking for Twitter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Named Entity rEcognition and Linking (NEEL) from text is an essential task in many Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications because it enables a better understanding of the content. However in the context of Social Media, NEEL is challenging due to the higher level of writing mistakes, fast language dynamics and often lack of context. To this end, we adapted Kanopy – an unsupervised graph-based topic disambiguation system – to be used for the task of NEEL in the domain of Twitter, a fast-paced micro-blogging platform. We describe the design of our solution and report the results obtained by our system using the official corpus of Tweets for the NEEL 2016 Challenge [10].

Systems that simultaneously identify and classify named entities in Twitter typically show poor recall. To remedy this, the task is here divided into two parts: i) named entity identification using Conditional Random Fields in a multi-objective framework built on Differential Evolution, and ii) named entity classification using Vector Space Modelling and edit distance techniques. Differential E...

متن کاملEnhancing Event Descriptions through Twitter Mining
We describe a simple IR approach for linking news about events, detected by an event extraction system, to messages from Twitter (tweets). In particular, we explore several methods for creating event-specific queries for Twitter and provide a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the relevance and usefulness of the information obtained from the tweets. We showed that methods based on utili...
متن کاملNamed Entity Extraction and Linking Challenge: University of Twente at #Microposts2014
Twitter is a potentially rich source of continuously and instantly updated information. Shortness and informality of tweets are challenges for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. In this paper we present a hybrid approach for Named Entity Extraction (NEE) and Linking (NEL) for tweets. Although NEE and NEL are two topics that are well studied in literature, almost all approaches treated the...
