Abstract

With the wide usage of Wikipedia in research and applications,disambiguation of concepts and entities to Wikipedia is an essential component in natural language processing. This paper addresses the task of identifying and linking specific words or phrases in a text to their referents described by Wikipedia articles. In this work, we propose a method that combines some heuristics with a statistical model for disambiguation. The method exploits disambiguated entities to disambiguate the others in an incremental process. Experiments are conducted to evaluate and show the advantages of the proposed method.
