Abstract

Named Entity rEcognition and Linking (NEEL) from text is an essential task in many Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications because it enables a better understanding of the content. However in the context of Social Media, NEEL is challenging due to the higher level of writing mistakes, fast language dynamics and often lack of context. To this end, we adapted Kanopy - an unsupervised graph-based topic disambiguation system - to be used for the task of NEEL in the domain of Twitter, a fast-paced micro-blogging platform.
