Abstract
Entity linking (entity annotation) is the task of linking named entity mentions on Web pages with the entities of a knowledge base (KB). With the continued progress of information extraction and semantic search techniques, entity linking has received much attention in both research and industrial communities. The challenge of the task is mainly on entity disambiguation. To our best knowledge, the huge existing RDF KBs have not been fully exploited for entity linking. In this paper, we study the entity linking problem via the usage of RDF KBs. Besides the accuracy of entity linking, the scalability of handling huge Web corpus and large RDF KBs are also studied. The experimental results show that our solution on entity linking achieves not only very good accuracy but also good scalability.
