Title
Analysis and refinement of cross-lingual entity linking
Abstract
In this paper we propose two novel approaches to enhance cross-lingual entity linking (CLEL). One is based on cross-lingual information networks, aligned based on monolingual information extraction, and the other uses topic modeling to ensure global consistency. We enhance a strong baseline system derived from a combination of state-of-the-art machine translation and monolingual entity linking to achieve 11.2% improvement in B-Cubed+ F-measure. Our system achieved highly competitive results in the NIST Text Analysis Conference (TAC) Knowledge Base Population (KBP2011) evaluation. We also provide detailed qualitative and quantitative analysis on the contributions of each approach and the remaining challenges.
