    [BibTeX] [Abstract]

    Identifying entities in text is an important step of semantic analysis. Some entity mentions comprise a name or description, but many include no information that identifies them in the system’s knowledge resources, which means that their identity cannot be established through traditional disambiguation. Consequently, such NIL (not in lexicon) entities have received little attention in entity linking systems and tasks so far. However, given the non-redundancy of knowledge on NIL entities, their lack of frequency priors, their potentially extreme ambiguity, and their numerousness, they constitute an important class of long-tail entities and pose a great challenge for state-of-the-art systems. In this paper, we describe a method for imputing identifying knowledge to NILs from generalized characteristics. We enrich the locally extracted information with profile models that rely on background knowledge in Wikidata. We describe and implement two profiling machines using state-of-the-art neural models. We evaluate their intrinsic behavior and their impact on the task of determining the identity of NIL entities.

    [BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

    In this paper, we present a new method to obtain large volumes of high-quality text corpora with event data for studying identity and reference relations. We report on the current methods to create event reference data by annotating texts and deriving the event data a posteriori. Our method starts from event registries in which event data is defined a priori. From this data, we extract so-called Microworlds of referential data with the Reference Texts that report on these events. This makes it possible to easily establish referential relations with high precision and at a large scale. In a pilot, we successfully obtained data from these resources with extreme ambiguity and variation, while maintaining the identity and reference relations and without having to annotate large quantities of texts word-by-word. The data from this pilot was annotated using an annotation tool created specifically in order to validate our method and to enrich the reference texts with event coreference annotations. This annotation process resulted in the Gun Violence Corpus, whose development process and outcome are described in this paper.

    [BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

    Automatic image description systems are commonly trained and evaluated on large image description datasets. Recently, researchers have started to collect such datasets for languages other than English. An unexplored question is how different these datasets are from English and, if there are any differences, what causes them to differ. This paper provides a cross-linguistic comparison of Dutch, English, and German image descriptions. We find that these descriptions are similar in many respects, but the familiarity of crowd workers with the subjects of the images has a noticeable influence on the specificity of the descriptions.

    [BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

    We present extensive evaluations comparing the performance of taxonomy-based and corpus-based approaches on SimLex- 999. The results confirm our hypothesis that taxonomy-based approaches are more suitable to identify similarity. We introduce two new measures of evaluation that show that all measures perform well on a coarse-grained evaluation and that it is not always clear which approach is most suitable when a similarity score is used as a threshold. This leads us to conclude that the inferior performance of corpus-based approaches may not (always) matter.
