Entity linking based on the co-occurrence graph and entity probability

This paper describes our system for the Entity Recognition and Disambiguation Challenge 2014. There are two tasks: one to find entities in queries (Short Track), the other to find entities in texts from web pages (Long Track). We have participated in both tracks with the same system tuned to each of the tasks. On the final test set, we reached the f-measure of 71.9% on the Long Track and of 66.9% on the Short Track. We describe our system and its components in depth, together with their influence on performance. The specifics of each of the tasks are also discussed.
