We gladly announce the source code release of our named entity disambiguation system AIDA:
Accurate Online Disambiguation of Named Entities.
Given a natural-language text, AIDA maps mentions of ambiguous names onto canonical
entities (people, places, etc.) registered in a knowledge base such as Yago
(
http://yago-knowledge.org), which is linked to Wikipedia.
For example, in the sentence "When Page played Kashmir at Knebwoth, his Les Paul was
uniquely tuned", AIDA would identify "Page" with Jimmy_Page,
"Kashmir" with Kashmir_Song, "Knebworth" with the festival, and
"Les Paul" with the Gibson_Les_Paul guitar.
