This paper describes BUPT (pris) participation in entity linking task and slot filling task. The system adopts a two-stage strategy in entity linking task and slot filling task. In the first stage, the system carries out a basic topic relevance retrieval to get top k documents for each query. In the second stage, cross-document coreference resolution is based on automatic text summary and autom...

Basis Technology participated in the TAC Entity-Link task of the Knowledge Base Population track at TAC 2013. This paper describes the system we developed and runs submitted for English, Chinese, and Spanish evaluation. The system is an extended and improved version of the system used in TAC 2012. We focus on the novel components and error analysis.

Entity linking is a important for connecting text data and knowledge bases. This poster presents a word, mention and entity joint embedding method, which can be used in computing semantic relatedness in entity linking approaches.

For accurate entity linking, we need to capture various information aspects of an entity, such as its description in a KB, contexts in which it is mentioned, and structured knowledge. Additionally, a linking system should work on texts from different domains without requiring domain-specific training data or hand-engineered features. In this work we present a neural, modular entity linking syst...

This paper describes the THUNLP system submitted to Entity Linking task of KBP Track in TAC 2013. This system achieves the third place with a B-cubed+ F1 score of 0.712 in mono-lingual entity linking task. In Chinese cross-lingual entity linking, this system achieved B-cubed+ F1 score of 0.647 with the help of Google Translate.

Although observers of Brazilian politics commonly hold that voters reward incumbents for “bringing home the bacon,” I provide reasons to question the direct link between pork and electoral success as well as statistical evidence demonstrating the lack of such a link. This generates a puzzle: if pork barreling is ineffective, why do Brazilian deputies spend so much time seeking pork? The answer ...

As the complexity and amount of real world data continuously grows, modern visualization systems are changing. Traditional information visualization techniques are often not sufficient to allow an in-depth visual data exploration process. Multiple view systems combined with linking & brushing are only one building block of a successful InfoVis system. In this paper we propose the incorporation ...

Zhang is an assistant professor of higher education at the University of Minnesota and a faculty associate at the Cornell Higher Education Research Institute (CHERI). He thanks Ronald Ehrenberg for his insightful comments on an early draft of the paper. Of course, full responsibility rests with the author. 1 Abstract This study uses panel data to examine the direct link between state funding an...

A new type of unsaturated poly ester-amide was prepared by melt polycondensation and characterized completely. Influence of heat treatment conditions and cross-linking content on mechanical and degradation properties of unsaturated polyester-amide were studied. Results suggested that the newly synthesized unsaturated poly(ester-amide) possessed good heat stabilization properties. Mechanical...

In this paper, I attempt to bring together approaches to literacy in theory and in practice, drawing upon various activities I have been involved in over the years–research in Iranian villages during the 1970s; linking research and theory to literacy policy, with particular reference to a contribution to the Unesco Global Monitoring Report in 2004 and involvement in an ongoing adult literacy tr...
