We propose the use of Entity Linking (EL) in order to improve the\nretrieval effectiveness, by enriching the representation of microblog posts and\nfiltering queries. EL is the process of recognizing in an unstructured text the\nmention of relevant entities described in a knowledge base. EL of short pieces\nof text is a difficult task, but it is also a scenario in which the information\nEL adds to the text can have a substantial impact on the retrieval process. We\nimplement a start-of-the-art filtering method, based on the best systems from\nthe TREC Microblog track realtime adhoc retrieval and filtering tasks , and\nextend it with a Wikipedia-based EL method. Results show that the use of EL\nsignificantly improves over non-EL based versions of the filtering methods.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1611.03350v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1611.03350v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"on-the-impact-of-entity-linking-in-microblog","repo_url":"https://github.com/giacbrd/CipCipPy","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"entity-linking","task_name":"Entity Linking"},{"task_slug":"retrieval","task_name":"Retrieval"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
