Introduction

Contextual disambiguation and grounding of concepts and entities in natural language text are essential to moving forward in many natural language understanding related tasks and are fundamental to many applications. The Wikification task (Bunescu and Pasca, 2006; Mihalcea and Csomai, 2007; Ratinov et al., 2011) aims at automatically identifying concept mentions appearing in a text document and link it to (or “ground it in”) a concept referent in a knowledge base (KB) (e.g., Wikipedia). For example, consider the sentence, "The Times report on Blumental (D) has the potential to fundamentally reshape the contest in the Nutmeg State.", a Wikifier should identify the key entities and concepts (Times, Blumental, D and the Nutmeg State), and disambiguate them by mapping them to an encyclopedic resource revealing, for example, that “D” here represents the Democratic Party, and that “the Nutmeg State” refers Connecticut.

Wikification may benefit both human end-users and Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems. When a document is Wikified a reader can more easily comprehend it, as information about related topics and relevant enriched knowledge from a KB is readily accessible. From a system-to-system perspective, a Wikified document conveys the meanings of its key concepts and entities by grounding them in an encyclopedic resource or a structurally rich ontology. Indeed, there is evidence that Wikification output can improve broad NLP down-stream tasks, including coreference resolution (Ratinov and Roth, 2012), text classification (Gabrilovich and Markovitch, 2007; Chang et al., 2008; Vitale et al., 2012), and applications such as cultural heritage (Fernando and Stevenson, 2012), user interest discovery (Michelson and Macskassy, 2010; Xu et al., 2011) and user recommendation and searching (Weng et al., 2010).

This task has received increased attention over the past several years from the NLP and Data Mining communities, partly fostered by the U.S. NIST Text Analysis Conference Knowledge Base Population (KBP) track (Ji et al., 2010; Ji et al., 2011) and several versions of it has been studied. These include Wikifying all concept mentions in a single text document; Wikifying a cluster of co-referential named entity mentions that appear across multiple documents (Entity Linking), and Wikifying a whole document to a single concept (Genc et al., 2011). Other works relate this task to coreference resolution within and across documents and study it in the context of multiple text genres. A large number of papers on these topics have been published in major conferences in the last couple of years.

The primary goals of this tutorial are to review the framework of Wikification and motivate it as a broad paradigm for cross-source linking for knowledge enrichment. We will present and discuss multiple dimensions of the task definition, present the basic building blocks of a state-of-the-art Wikifier system, share some key lessons learned from the analysis of evaluation results, and discuss recently proposed ideas for advancing work in this area along with some of the key challenges. We will also suggest some research questions brought up by new applications, including interactive Wikification, social media, and censorship. The tutorial will thus be useful for both senior and junior researchers with interests in crosssource information extraction and linking, knowledge acquisition, and the use of acquired knowledge in natural language processing and information extraction. We will try to provide a concise roadmap of recent perspectives and results, as well as point to some of our Wikification resources that are available to the research communities.

Brief Tutorial Outline

After shortly motivating and introducing the general task the first part of the tutorial will be a methodological presentation of a skeletal Wikification system that will allow us to focus on some of the key challenges and computational directions. We will then describe in detail some of the obstacles including the scarcity of supervision signals, issues related to mention detection and candidate selection in different scenarios, and issues that arise when dealing with diverse text genres. Advanced methods that address these obstacles will be surveyed carefully. We will conclude with a discussion of some key remaining challenges and future work.

1. Motivation and Task Definition [30 minutes]

We will describe the notion of Wikification as a generic cross-source linking problem, motivate the task both human reader and system perspectives, and exemplify some applications. We will then lay out multiple dimensions of the task definition and illustrate how different settings are appropriate for different applications and what impact they might have on computational approaches.

2. A Skeletal View of Wikification Systems [45 minutes]

We will present the general architecture of a systematic approach to Wikification, and use it to survey existing approaches from a fairly unified perspective. In doing that we will address the key computational steps – mention identification, candidate identification and decision making and, within it, key issues such as knowledge representation, local and global context analysis, relevant statistical features, the role of machine learning and the utilization of unlabeled data.

3. Key Challenges and Recent Advances [35 minutes]

We will address some of the key challenges facing high-performing end-to-end Wikification approaches once the basic algorithmic solutions are in place. In doing that we will touch upon all stages of the pipeline: mention identification, candidate generation, ranking of candidates and the identification of concepts and entities that are outside the knowledge base. We will discuss solutions that advance joint modeling of some of these computational steps, joint inference of Wikification with an application (e.g., coreference) or an additional process (e.g., relation identification) and new training models, and exhibit their impact on various steps in the Wikification pipeline.

4. New Tasks, Trends and Applications [30 minutes]

In this part of the tutorial we will address some of the new challenges that arise from extending the Wikification task to new settings – social media, cross-lingual Wikification, censored data, etc.. We will present some of the solutions that have started to emerge in this area (e.g., to deal with short and noisy text), along with some recent and interesting applications.

5. What’s Next? [10 minutes]

We will conclude with a discussion of some of the open issues in this domain. These include the challenge of dealing with multiple knowledge bases of different levels of quality, difficulties that arise when interacting with users at multiple levels of expertise and those that result from using cross-genre data. We will also provide pointers to resources, including data sets, software and on-line demos.
