Named Entity Linking in #Tweets with KEA

Abstract

This paper presents the KEA system at the #Microposts 2016 NEEL Challenge. Its task is to recognize and type mentions from English microposts and link them to their corresponding entries in DBpedia. For this task, we have adapted our Named Entity Disambiguation tool originally designed for natural language text to the special requirements of noisy, terse, and poorly worded tweets containing special functional terms and language.
