Improving Entity Linking by Introducing Knowledge Graph Structure Information

Entity linking involves mapping ambiguous mentions in documents to the correct entities in a given knowledge base. Most of the current methods are a combination of local and global models. The local model uses the local context information around the entity mention to independently resolve the ambiguity of each entity mention. The global model encourages thematic consistency across the target entities of all mentions in the document. However, the known global models calculate the correlation between entities from a semantic perspective, ignoring the correlation information between entities in nature. In this paper, we introduce knowledge graphs to enrich the correlation information between entities and propose an entity linking model that introduces the structural information of the knowledge graph (KGEL). The model can fully consider the relations between entities. To prove the importance of the knowledge graph structure, extensive experiments are conducted on multiple public datasets. Results illustrate that our model outperforms the baseline and achieves superior performance.
