Entity Linking | The Symbiosis between Knowledge Graphs and News
KGC 2020
•
20m
The development and availability of Web knowledge repositories, in particular Wikipedia, as the largest general-knowledge encyclopedic collection, have changed remarkably not only the way in which individual users fulfill their informational needs but also the way in which information providers organize data by employing large knowledge graphs derived from these repositories. In this talk, we will take a closer look at the task of linking to entities from knowledge graphs both as an enabler for new user experiences on the Web, and in particular in Web news, and as a key instrument for keeping the information from knowledge graphs fresh and accurate. One part of the talk will cover news processing in near-real time for fact extraction and fact verification. Another part will cover news consumption experiences enabled by entity linking from concept-based video navigation to social-media guided news presentation. Finally, the talk will follow a journey from the idea of enabling users to check facts in their Office documents to integrating the Microsoft Knowledge Graph with Excel through the new Data Types feature.
