[GSOC] FOAF Co-reference based Entity Disambiguation WorkFlow

Hi All,

As the third milestone of my project I will describe my initial design of
the FOAF Co-reference based entity disambiguation engine here.

The main disambiguation technique used here is FOAF co-reference. This aims
to merge multiple fise:EntityAnnotations identified by different surface
mentions in the text to a single FOAF entity by identifying co-reference
relationships between the entity-labels. I have an idea to introduce 2 new
fise properties called fise:coref, fise:not-coref to denote the coreference
relationships between the entities. Would like your thoughts on this idea.

Contextual information extracted from the ContentItem will be used to
identify the most suitable entity-annotation to the selected-text context.
The co-reference calculation will be initially done in a Rule-based manner.
Later a machine learning approach (SVM based) will be followed to upgrade
the system.
The disambiguation engine will calculate a disambiguation score (ds) by
performing FOAF co-reference operations on the contextual information
extract from the content items and modify the fise:confidence value for
each EntitySuggestions.

Basic co-reference rule to be used is :
{?p a owl:IFP. ?a ?p ?x. ?b ?p ?x) => {?a :coref ?b}
{?p a owl:FP . ?a ?p ?x. ?a ?p ?y.) => { ?x :coref ?y}

IFP : inverse-functional property
FP : functional property
coref : co-referent

The co-reference operations will be mainly 3 types.  These 3 types will be
implemented as sub-modules in the disambiguation-engine. The
Map<TextAnnotation,Set<Suggestions>> will go through each module (in a
chain-mode) for improved disambiguation results.  Mainly the disambiguation
process aims at People disambiguation;it also could be used for the
Organization type disambiguation.

The 3 sub-modules in the engine are as follows.

1. Co-reference by foaf-field literal matching :
This will perform a similarity matching of entity-label fields with FOAF
fields like foaf:name, givenName, firstName, familyName, nick  and update
confidence values for co-referring entities  (eg: matching firstName,
givenName and nickname mentions in the content: 'Tim Bernes' Lee is also
identified as 'timbl' as a nickname).
It should also detect TextAnnotations of email addresses (if available) and
match them with foaf:mbox,foaf:personalMailbox fields and phone numbers
with foaf:phone.
In this module, direct literal matching is performed.

2. Co-reference by relationship links :
This module perform neighborhood comparison with other People,
Organizations mentioned in the context. The relationships will be analysed
via foaf:knows field. foaf:seeAlso, foaf:sameAs will be used as the main
co-reference field to detect different EntityAnnotations referring to the
same Entity.
To detect relationships with organizations, foaf:schoolHomePage,
foaf:workplaceHomePage will be used.
To detect membership in groups, foaf:Group, foaf:member will be used as
keys.
To detect gender of the person in the context, the surface mention he/she
will be matched against the foaf:gender.

3. Topic based matching :
The fise:TopicAnnotations will be matched against foaf:interest (links to a
document), foaf:TopicInterest (links to an agent/entity), foaf:topic and
foaf:primaryTopic.

I will use the same algorithm to calculate the disambiguation score as used
in SolrMLT disambiguation engine in Stanbol.

The algorithm:

    dc := (oc* cw / ( cw + dw)) + (ds * dw / ( cw + dw))

    oc ... original-confidence [0..1]
    ds ... disambiguation-score [0..1]
    dc ... disambiguated - confidence [0..1]
    cw ... original-confidence-weight
    dw ... disambiguation-weight


Some questions I have:

   - Is it a good idea to chain many enhancement engines other than my
   foaf-site-engine such as NLP-Engines, TokenizerEngine, POSEngine to provide
   many Entity Suggestions as possible before executing disambiguation?
   - Can I use 'topic' enhancement engine in Stanbol to provide
   fise:TopicAnnotations required in the 3rd module?
   - Does SentimentAnalysis engine work? if so will
   fise:SentimentAnnotations be useful for Topic based matching?

Would like your suggestions, ideas as much as possible to improve my FOAF
co-reference based disambiguation engine.

Hi Reto,

Thanks a lot for the pointer.
I will look at the clerezza, rdf smusher to get a better idea.

:coref is owl:sameAs.

You might be interested in checking out
http://clerezza.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/clerezza/rdf/utils/Smusher.htmlwhich
does smashing based on IFP, it should be quite straight forward to
support FP as well. Also a map could be used to reduce the time complexity.

For guessing identity when there is no IFP or FP you might use a tool like
LIMES or SILK.

There is no existing model for general purpose topics. ogrisel had
started with such (based on dbpedia categories) but never finished his
work. So you would need to train your own model.

The sentiment engines do select sections of the text and provide you
with a sentiment value [-1 .. +1] for those. The topic engine provides
you categories for the whole document. I do not se how you could
possible co-relate those information.

If you would also run the topic engine on smaller sections of the text
you could possible detect if a "topic" is mentioned in a positive or
negative context.

Yes I have configured it with foaf:* to include all foaf properties during

I think I haven't yet grasped the topic-annotation concept in stanbol
properly. I was expecting to use the topic-engine configured in the
enhancement chain, and retrieve TopicAnnotations out of the box and use
those TopicAnnotations to match against foaf:primaryTopic, foaf:interest
properties in my engine...to train a model can I use an existing model
rather than training it with foaf site I have implemented? Forgive me if
this is a stupid question :)

Maybe this is something not so practical :)

I will start implementing with a simple model to use several entity-linking
engines to propose entityAnnotations as much as possible and use the 2nd
module's approach to co-ref foaf relationships.
Will update the thread with my progress..

To suggest possible Entities for mentions in the text is the responsibility
of EntityLinking. IMO this first part has not much to do with
disambiguation, but is mainly needed to get initial suggestions
(fise:TextAnnotation with linked fise:EntityAnnotation). Those annotations
will then be used for disambiguation in step (2) and (3).

There are already EnhancementEngines that can be used for linking against
names, family names and nick names. For email and phone number you might
need to write your won engines (maybe regex based).

I would not recommend to create fise:EntityAnnotations for given names, as
there will be way to much possibilities. With regard to that you should
have a look at the Entity co-mention engine. This is able to suggest  "Tim
Bernes' Lee" for mentions of "Tim" if "Tim Bernes' Lee" was already
mentioned by its full name earlier in the text.

Also (2) and (3) could be done in multiple engines, but in that case you
would need to find a solution to correctly calculate the final
disambiguated fise:confidence value based on the individual results of the
different disambiguation engines. Meaning that you will need to add some
intermediate information to the RDF enhancement graph. If you do it in a
single engine you could use an Java model for that. because of that IMO it
should be simpler to start with a single engine.

But I am wondering where you can get the trainings data for such a model.
You would need a set of documents for all the categories used by FOAF files.
