Abstract

In this paper, we formalize the task of finding a knowledge base entry that a given named entity mention refers to, namely entity linking, by identifying the most “important” node among the graph nodes representing the candidate entries. With the aim of ranking these entities by their “importance”, we introduce three degree-based measures of graph connectivity. Experimental results on the TAC-KBP benchmark data sets show that our graph-based method performs comparably with the state-of-the-art methods. We also show that using the name phrase feature outperforms the commonly used bag-of-word feature for entity linking.
