• Title: An Unsupervised Language-Independent Entity Disambiguation Method and its Evaluation on the English and Persian Languages
• Abstract summary: Unsupervised Language-Independent Entity Disambiguation (ULIED) is a novel approach to disambiguate and link named entities. Evaluation of ULIED on different English entity linking datasets as well as the only available Persian dataset illustrates that ULIED in most of the cases outperforms the state-of-the-art unsupervised multi-lingual approaches.

• Abstract: Entity Linking is one of the essential tasks of information extraction and natural language understanding. Entity linking mainly consists of two tasks: recognition and disambiguation of named entities. Most studies address these two tasks separately or focus only on one of them. Moreover, most of the state-of-the -art entity linking algorithms are either supervised, which have poor performance in the absence of annotated corpora or language-dependent, which are not appropriate for multi-lingual applications. In this paper, we introduce an Unsupervised Language-Independent Entity Disambiguation (ULIED), which utilizes a novel approach to disambiguate and link named entities. Evaluation of ULIED on different English entity linking datasets as well as the only available Persian dataset illustrates that ULIED in most of the cases outperforms the state-of-the-art unsupervised multi-lingual approaches.

  OneNet is an innovative framework that utilizes the few-shot learning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) without the need for fine-tuning. OneNet is structured around three key components prompted by LLMs: (1) an entity reduction processor that simplifies inputs by summarizing and filtering out irrelevant entities, (2) a dual-perspective entity linker that combines contextual cues and prior knowledge for precise entity linking, and (3) an entity consensus judger that employs a unique consistency algorithm to alleviate the hallucination in the entity linking reasoning.

  Cross-lingual named entity recognition (CrossNER) faces challenges stemming from uneven performance due to the scarcity of multilingual corpora. We propose Multi-view Contrastive Learning for Cross-lingual Named Entity Recognition (mCL-NER) Our experiments on the XTREME benchmark, spanning 40 languages, demonstrate the superiority of mCL-NER over prior data-driven and model-based approaches.

  Existing approaches for entity and relation extraction tasks mainly focus on the English corpora and ignore other languages. We propose a two-stage multilingual training method and a joint model called Multilingual Entity and Relation Extraction framework (mERE) to mitigate language interference. Our method outperforms both the monolingual and multilingual baseline methods.

  We propose building knowledge and supervised-based Multilingual Word Sense Disambiguation (MWSD) systems. We build unified sense representations for multiple languages and address the annotation scarcity problem for MWSD by transferring annotations from rich-sourced languages to poorer ones. Evaluations of SemEval-13 and SemEval-15 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology.
