In plain words: A system labels names in text with specific types by first looking up which real-world thing each name refers to, then combining that knowledge with the surrounding words. It beat the best earlier system by more than 5 percentage points on two test sets.

Abstract · Improving Fine-grained Entity Typing with Entity Linking

Fine-grained entity typing is a challenging problem since it usually involves a relatively large tag set and may require to understand the context of the entity mention. In this paper, we use entity linking to help with the fine-grained entity type classification process. We propose a deep neural model that makes predictions based on both the context and the information obtained from entity linking results. Experimental results on two commonly used datasets demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach. On both datasets, it achieves more than 5\% absolute strict accuracy improvement over the state of the art.
