In this paper we give an overview of the Tri-lingual Entity Discovery and Linking (EDL) task at the Knowledge Base Population (KBP) track at TAC2017, and of the Ten Low Resource Language EDL Pilot. We will summarize several new and effective research directions including multi-lingual common space construction for cross-lingual knowledge transfer, rapid approaches for silver-standard training d...

Through preliminary experiments, we aim at proving the feasibility of the task, and pro...
