• Abstract summary: We propose a novel candidate retrieval paradigm based on entity profiling. We use the profile to query the indexed search engine to retrieve candidate entities. Our approach complements the traditional approach of using a Wikipedia anchor-text dictionary.

• Abstract: Entity linking (EL) is the task of linking entity mentions in a document to referent entities in a knowledge base (KB). Many previous studies focus on Wikipedia-derived KBs. There is little work on EL over Wikidata, even though it is the most extensive crowdsourced KB. The scale of Wikidata can open up many new real-world applications, but its massive number of entities also makes EL challenging. To effectively narrow down the search space, we propose a novel candidate retrieval paradigm based on entity profiling. Wikidata entities and their textual fields are first indexed into a text search engine (e.g., Elasticsearch). During inference, given a mention and its context, we use a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) model to generate the profile of the target entity, which consists of its title and description. We use the profile to query the indexed search engine to retrieve candidate entities. Our approach complements the traditional approach of using a Wikipedia anchor-text dictionary, enabling us to further design a highly effective hybrid method for candidate retrieval. Combined with a simple cross-attention reranker, our complete EL framework achieves state-of-the-art results on three Wikidata-based datasets and strong performance on TACKBP-2010.

  Authority lists with extensive textual descriptions for each entity are lacking and ambiguous named entities. We combine BERT-based mention representations with a variety of graph induction strategies and experiment with supervised and unsupervised cluster inference methods. We find that in-domain language model pretraining can significantly improve mention representations, especially for larger corpora.

  Current linked open data (LOD) tools are not suitable to enrich large graphs like Wikidata. We present a novel workflow that includes gap detection, source selection, schema alignment, and semantic validation. Our experiments show that our workflow can enrich Wikidata with millions of novel statements from external LOD sources with a high quality.

  Autoregressive language models are emerging as the de-facto standard for generating answers. Previous work has explored ways to partition the search space into hierarchical structures. In this work we propose an alternative that doesn't force any structure in the search space: using all ngrams in a passage as its possible identifiers.

  Wikidata is a frequently updated, community-driven, and multilingual knowledge graph. Current Wikidata-specific Entity Linking datasets do not differ in their annotation scheme from schemes for other knowledge graphs like DBpedia. Almost all approaches employ specific properties like labels and sometimes descriptions but ignore characteristics such as the hyper-relational structure.

  We use the data-to-text method as a means for encoding structured knowledge for knowledge-intensive applications, i.e. open-domain question answering (QA) Specifically, we propose a verbalizer-retriever-reader framework for open-domain QA over data and text where verbalized tables from Wikipedia and triples from Wikidata are used as augmented knowledge sources. We show that our Unified Data and Text QA, UDT-QA, can effectively benefit from the expanded knowledge index, leading to large gains over text-only baselines.

We use a consolidated, curated version of the crowdsourced assessments to train several machine learning models to scale up the analysis to the whole of Wikidata. The findings help us ascertain the quality of references in Wikidata, and identify common challenges in defining and capturing the quality of user-generated multilingual structured data on the web.

  Entities are at the center of how we represent and aggregate knowledge. The ability to retrieve such entities given a query is fundamental for knowledge-intensive tasks such as entity linking and open-domain question answering. We propose GENRE, the first system that retrieves entities by generating their unique names, left to right, token-by-token in an autoregressive fashion.
