Applications IR, EDT, and TDT Name Matching Problem (Patman and Thomson, 2003) When are different name strings potential references to the same entity? (Qaddafi, Gadafi, Gaddafi, Kaddafi, Qaddafy, etc.) Cross-Document IE and Information Fusion increases chances of a pattern match information may be more explicit in one or more articles the set of articles may contain more information than any one Multi-Document Summarization 2002 DUC evaluation – earthquakes systems had difficulty distinguishing between earthquakes Question Answering When was Kennedy born? – which Kennedy is being referred to? Link Analysis linking entities is a first step towards identifying more complex relationships across documents Conclusions CDC is a feasible task context (text/images/video) around entity/event provides enough information to disambiguate Entity-based CDC many different methods/models performance over different, large corpora is consistently in mid 80s Other types of CDC simple models/methods have been tried plenty of opportunity to explore more sophisticated contextual models Evaluation Methodologies several different ones exist; no consensus on best one Applications time is ripe for integrating entity-based CDC in higher level applications * Note – Version 2 – is barebones model – no NE, no within DOC coref * PERS – George Walker Bush George W. Bush George Bush G. Bush Bush PLACE – least ambiguous (small place, big place) * High precision implies not conflating large equivalent classes. Low recall implies not doing a good job of relating large equivalent classes. Term or Concept CDC Single or multi-word terms refer to concepts occurring in domain Multi-word terms identified by Terminator (rule-based) form subset of noun phrases in document discard those that occur only once in document for example: price rose where rose is mistakenly identified as noun discard those that are found only as proper sub-strings for example: dimension space (part of lower dimension space)
