Abstract
Entity linking is to detect proper nouns or concrete concepts (a.k.a mentions) from documents, and to map them to the corresponding entries in a given knowledge base. In this paper, we propose an entity linking framework POSLS consisting of three components: mention detection, candidate selection and entity disambiguation. First, we use part of speech tagging and English syntactic rules to detect mentions. We then choose candidates with Lucene search. Finally, we identify the best matchings with a similarity based disambiguation method. Experimental results show that our approach has an acceptable accuracy.
