We describe an efficient way to create a test collection for evaluating the accuracy of cross-language entity linking. Queries are created by semiautomatically identifying person names on the English side of a parallel corpus, using judgments obtained through crowdsourcing to identify the entity corresponding to the name, and projecting the English name onto the non-English document using word ...

Independently owned nature reserves are proliferating across the developing world. Nevertheless, the conservation community knows practically nothing about them. This paper examines the economic, ecological, and social impacts of ecotourism, as evidenced at thirty-two of these reserves. Ecotourism is shown to be the primary means through which reserves survive financially. This reliance provide...

This paper describes our participation in the English Entity Linking task at KBP 2012.

In this day and age, people not only deal with data but deal with vast amounts of data which needs to be sorted and made sense of. A subset of these people are intelligence analysts who sort through an enormous amount of data that need to be organized to uncover plots and subplots. We are proposing a tool called BABES (Brushing+Linking, Attributes, and Blobs Extension to Storyboard) that will e...

We address the task of entity linking to multiple knowledge bases (KB). In particular, we investigate the use of over one thousand domain-specific KBs derived from Wikia.com collections in conjunction with the Wikipedia collection as a background-knowledge repository. Our system employs a two-step approach: for each document, a supervised model with a large set of features detects whether there...

This paper describes the CMCRC systems entered in the TAC 2010 entity linking challenge. The best performing system we describe implements the document-level entity linking system from Cucerzan (2007), with several additions that exploit global information. Our implementation of Cucerzan’s method achieved a score of 74.9% in development experiments. Additional global information improves perfor...

This paper proposes an Entity Linking system that applies a topic modeling ranking. We apply a novel approach in order to provide new relevant elements to the model. These elements are keyphrases related to the queries and gathered from a huge Wikipedia-based knowledge resource.

In the web era, people usually neglected the quality of content, and had minimum authority on reporting good or bad content, whereas, in Web 2.0, content is becoming a priority and people become more critical when they assess its quality. In the former case, each web si...
