Abstract:
This talk introduces the challenges and opportunities in matching entity
graphs, such as multilingual name graphs and social network graphs, as novel
data-rich solutions to difficult tasks such as name translation or social id
finding. We will show how these data-rich solutions outperform existing
model-rich state-of-the-arts. We present our evaluation results using
real-life entity graphs and discuss future directions.
