Abstract

Can I make use of my thesaurus to disambiguate entities when performing entity extraction?

PoolParty makes use of the semantic relations of a concept from a knowledge graph when entities are being extracted from documents or web pages. This method helps to disambiguate terms with high precision. Taxonomists can define properties which will be used for disambiguation tasks. Therefore, for each thesaurus concept a context can be defined which is compared to the context from the analysed text. In addition, negation rules can be defined which state for example that a 'Jaguar, when used in the context of cats, isn't a car'.
