BUPTTeam Participation at TAC 2013 Entity Linking

This paper overviews BUPTTeam’s participation in the Entity Linking task. We tackle the problem of entity disambiguation for large collections of online pages. Specifically, Named Entity Disambiguation is the task to polish the ambiguities of named entities. Several methods have been proposed to solve this problem, but they are largely only focused on one disambiguation mean, Entity Linking or Entity Clustering. In this paper, we propose an original framework to disambiguate the ambiguities of named entities combining Entity Linking and Entity Clustering. The evaluation results show that our method is effective for Entity Linking task.
