Title
With a Little Help from my Neighbors: Person Name Linking Using the Wikipedia Social Network.
Abstract
Driven by the popularity of social networks, there has been an increasing interest in employing such networks in the context of named entity linking. In this paper, we present a novel approach to person name disambiguation and linking that uses a large-scale social network extracted from the English Wikipedia. First, possible candidate matches for an ambiguous person name are determined. With each candidate match, a network substructure is associated. Based on the similarity between these network substructures and the latent network of an ambiguous person name in a document, we propose an efficient ranking method to resolve the ambiguity. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, resulting in an overall precision of over 96% for disambiguating person names and linking them to real world entities.
