• Title: Entity Disambiguation with Entity Definitions
• Authors: Luigi Procopio, Simone Conia, Edoardo Barba, Roberto Navigli
• Abstract summary: Local models have recently attained astounding performances in Entity Disambiguation (ED) Previous works limited their studies to using, as the textual representation of each candidate, only its Wikipedia title. In this paper, we address this limitation and investigate to what extent more expressive textual representations can mitigate it. We report a new state of the art on 2 out of 6 benchmarks we consider and strongly improve the generalization capability over unseen patterns.

• Abstract: Local models have recently attained astounding performances in Entity Disambiguation (ED), with generative and extractive formulations being the most promising research directions. However, previous works limited their studies to using, as the textual representation of each candidate, only its Wikipedia title. Although certainly effective, this strategy presents a few critical issues, especially when titles are not sufficiently informative or distinguishable from one another. In this paper, we address this limitation and investigate to what extent more expressive textual representations can mitigate it. We thoroughly evaluate our approach against standard benchmarks in ED and find extractive formulations to be particularly well-suited to these representations: we report a new state of the art on 2 out of 6 benchmarks we consider and strongly improve the generalization capability over unseen patterns. We release our code, data and model checkpoints at https://github.com/SapienzaNLP/extend.

  We introduce a new approach for fine-grained evaluation. Our approach can be applied to existing datasets by automatically generating hard negative test captions. Experiments on our fine-grained evaluations demonstrate that this approach enhances a model's ability to understand fine-grained differences.

• Coherent Entity Disambiguation via Modeling Topic and Categorical Dependency [87.16283281290053]
  Previous entity disambiguation (ED) methods adopt a discriminative paradigm, where prediction is made based on matching scores between mention context and candidate entities. We propose CoherentED, an ED system equipped with novel designs aimed at enhancing the coherence of entity predictions. We achieve new state-of-the-art results on popular ED benchmarks, with an average improvement of 1.3 F1 points.

  We propose an ELECTRA-based keyword extractor to denoise the mention context and construct a better query expression. For training the extractor, we propose a distant supervision method to automatically generate training data based on overlapping tokens between mention contexts and entity descriptions. Experimental results on the ZESHEL dataset demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art models by a significant margin across all test domains.

We conduct the first comprehensive study on context utilization and position bias in summarization.

  Temporal Sentence Grounding in Videos (TSGV) aims to ground a natural language sentence in an untrimmed video. Recent studies have found that current benchmark datasets may have obvious moment annotation biases. We introduce a new evaluation metric "dR@n,IoU@m" that discounts the basic recall scores to alleviate the inflating evaluation caused by biased datasets.
