Abstract

In this paper we study the problem of personal name disambiguation (NED). We develop a framework to address the three challenges in personal name disambiguation: (i) identification of referential ambiguity, (ii) identification of lexical ambiguity, and (iii) predicting the NIL value, that is the value when a named entity cannot be mapped to a knowledge base. Our framework includes extractor, searcher and disambiguator. Experimental results evaluated on real-world data sets, show that our framework and algorithm provide accuracy in personal name linking up to 92%, which is higher than the accuracy of previously developed algorithms.
