[jira] [Updated] (STANBOL-1362) FST linking engine should use the matchable span to calculate dominant tag

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STANBOL-1362?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Rupert Westenthaler updated STANBOL-1362:
-----------------------------------------

    Description: 
The FST linking engine uses the TagClusterReducer#LONGEST_DOMINANT_RIGHT to select the dominant Tag in an overlapping cluster of Tag suggestions.

While this algorithm is fine the span used as input are not ideal as also none-matchable tokens are considered. Especially when linking against DBPedia this sometimes results in unexpected results as several entities in DBPedia do have labels that include things like pre-/post-positions. Because of that a text mentioning "in <location>" could get linked to an entity with this name (could be a book or music-album) but not suggesting the <location>. This is because the matching span for "in <location>" is the LONGEST_DOMINANT_RIGHT and the match for the <location> will be removed. 

To fix this issue one needs to implement a LONGEST_DOMINANT_RIGHT variant that only considers the span of enclosed matchable tokens instead of the whole matching span. Doing so will only use <location> as matchable span and therefore suggest both the <location> and the other entity matching "in <location>".
