Entity Typing is an important task in text analysis. Assigning types (e.g., person, location, organization) to mentions of entities in documents enables effective structured analysis of unstructured text corpora. The extracted type information can be used in a wide range of ways (e.g., serving as primitives for information extraction and knowledge base (KB) completion, and assisting question answering). Traditional Entity Typing systems focus on a small set of coarse types (typically fewer than 10). Recent studies work on a much larger set of fine-grained types which form a tree-structured hierarchy (e.g., actor as a subtype of artist, and artist is a subtype of person).

Description from the archive archive 2025-07-28.
Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28
8 leaderboard tables shown for this task, 8 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.
Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.
