Introduction
(2012) presented a system called TwiCal which extracts an open-domain calendar of significant events represented by a 4-tuple set including a named entity , event phrase, calendar date, and event type from Twitter.
Introduction
Here, event elements include named entities such as person, company, organization, date/time, location, and the relations among them.
Methodology
Events extracted in our proposed framework are represented as a 4-tuple (y, d, l, k), where 3/ stands for a non-location named entity , d for a date, I for a location, and k for an event-related keyword.
Methodology
Tweets are preprocessed by time expression recognition, named entity recognition, POS tagging and stemming.
Methodology
Named Entity Recognition.

Abstract
First, named entities are linked to candidate Wikipedia pages by a generic annotation engine.
Abstract
Then, the algorithm re—ranks candidate links according to mutual relations between all the named entities found in the document.
Experiments and Results
In this task, mentions of entities found in a document collection must be linked to entities in a reference KB, or to new named entities discovered in the collection.
Experiments and Results
We observe that the complete algorithm (co-references, named entity labels and MDP) provides the best results on PER NE links.
Introduction
The Entity Linking (EL) task consists in linking name mentions of named entities (NEs) found in a document to their corresponding entities in a reference Knowledge Base (KB).
Introduction
Various approaches have been proposed to solve the named entity disambiguation (NED) problem.
Introduction
In the context of the Named Entity Recognition (NER) task, such resources can be generic and generative.

Abstract
Named Entity Disambiguation (NED) refers to the task of mapping different named entity mentions in running text to their correct interpretations in a specific knowledge base (KB).
Introduction
Named entities (NEs) have received much attention over the last two decades (Nadeau and Sekine, 2007), mostly focused on recognizing the boundaries of textual NE mentions and classifying them as, e.g., Person, Organization or Location.
Introduction
Named Entity Disambiguation
Related Work
The second line of approach is collective named entity disambiguation (CNED), where all mentions of entities in the document are disambiguated jointly.
Solution Graph
cos: The cosine similarity between the named entity textual mention and the KB entry title.
Solution Graph
Named Entity Selection: The simplest approach is to select the highest ranked entity in the list for each mention mi according to equation 5, where R could refer to Rm or R5.
Solution Graph
Our results show that Page-Rank in conjunction with re-ranking by initial confidence score can be used as an effective approach to collectively disambiguate named entity textual mentions in a document.

Concept Identification
o NER: 1 if the named entity tagger marked the span as an entity, 0 otherwise.
Concept Identification
clex also has a set of rules for generating concept fragments for named entities and time expressions.
Concept Identification
It generates a concept fragment for any entity recognized by the named entity tagger, as well as for any word sequence matching a regular expression for a time expression.
Notation and Overview
Each stage is a discriminatively-trained linear structured predictor with rich features that make use of part-of-speech tagging, named entity tagging, and dependency parsing.
Training
0 Input: X, a sentence annotated with named entities (person, organization, location, mis-ciscellaneous) from the Illinois Named Entity Tagger (Ratinov and Roth, 2009), and part-of-speech tags and basic dependencies from the Stanford Parser (Klein and Manning, 2003; de Mameffe et al., 2006).
Training
l. ( Named Entity ) Applies to name concepts and their opn children.

(Fuzzy Named Entity ) Applies to name concepts and their opn children.

Topics mentioned in this paper:
Li, Jiwei and Ritter, Alan and Hovy, Eduard
Experiments
We assume that attribute values should be either name entities or terms following @ and #.
Experiments
Name entities are extracted using Ritter et al.’s NER system (2011).
Experiments
Consecutive tokens with the same named entity tag are chunked (Mintz et al., 2009).
Model
0 Token-level: for each token t E 6, word identity, word shape, part of speech tags, name entity tags.

Abstract
We conduct experiments on named entity recognition data and find that our approach can provide a significant improvement over the standard model when annotation errors are present.
Experiments
We now consider the problem of named entity recognition (NER) to evaluate how our model performs in a large-scale prediction task.
Experiments
In traditional NER, the goal is to determine whether each word is a person, organization, location, or not a named entity (‘other’).
Experiments
(This task does not trivially reduce to finding the capitalized words, as the model must distinguish between people and other named entities like organizations).
named entity is mentioned in 4 sentences in this paper.
Topics mentioned in this paper:
Yao, Xuchen and Van Durme, Benjamin
Experiments
For this purpose we used the Freebase Search API (Freebase, 2013a).A11 named entities 8 in a question were sent to this API, which returned a ranked list of relevant topics.
Experiments
8When no named entities are detected, we fall back to noun phrases.
Graph Features
We simply apply a named entity recognizer to find the question topic.
Graph Features
(special case) if a qtopic node was tagged as a named entity, then replace this node with its its named entity form, e.g., bieber —> qtopic=person;

Bamman, David and Dyer, Chris and Smith, Noah A.
Evaluation
In the absence of a sizable number of linguistically interesting terms (like wicked) that are known to be geographically variable, we consider the proxy of estimating the named entities evoked by specific terms in different geographical regions.
Evaluation
As noted above, geographic terms like city provide one such example: in Massachusetts we expect the term city to be more strongly connected to grounded named entities like Boston than to other US cities.
Introduction
This information enables learning models of word meaning that are sensitive to such factors, allowing us to distinguish, for example, between the usage of wicked in Massachusetts from the usage of that word elsewhere, and letting us better associate geographically grounded named entities (e.g, Boston) with their hypemyms (city) in their respective regions.

Topics mentioned in this paper:
Fan, Miao and Zhao, Deli and Zhou, Qiang and Liu, Zhiyuan and Zheng, Thomas Fang and Chang, Edward Y.
Experiments
Three kinds of features, namely, lexical, syntactic and named entity tag features, were extracted from relation mentions.
Introduction
As we cannot tell what kinds of features are effective in advance, we have to use NLP toolkits, such as Stanford CoreNLPIO, to extract a variety of textual features, e.g., named entity tags, part-of-speech tags and lexicalized dependency paths.
