Abstract

Named Entity Disambiguation (NED) aims at dis-ambiguating named entity mentions in a text to their corre-sponding entries in a knowledge base such as Wikipedia. Itis a fundamental task in Natural Language Processing (NLP)and has many applications such as information extraction, information retrieval, and knowledge acquisition. In the pastdecade, a number of methods have been proposed for theNED task. However, most of existing work focuses on exploringmany more useful information to help tackle this problem. Theeffectiveness of different features proposed for the task arenot well-studied in a same platform. In this paper, we extractvarious remarkable features by leveraging statistical, textual andsemantic information, and evaluate various combinations of themulti-aspect features for the disambiguation task in the sameplatform. Specifically, we utilize two learning to rank methods tocombine different features, train and test the combined methodson several standard data sets. Through extensive experiments, we investigate the effects on the quality of the disambiguationof exploiting different features and show which combinations offeatures are the best choices for disambiguation.
