This paper presents HITS’ system for monolingual and cross-lingual entity linking at TAC 2012. We propose a joint system for entity disambiguation, recognition of NILs and clustering using Markov Logic. The proposed model (1) is global, i.e. a group of mentions in a text is disambiguated in one single step combining various global and local features, and (2) performs disambiguation, unknown ent...

We describe a web-based system for defining and running TAC SCM experiments, and collecting results. It is a research tool, intended to support experimentation and evaluation of alternate agent configurations. With it, we are able to set up sets of experiments, each of which runs multiple games with a fixed set of competing agents. Game and agent logs are gathered together for later analysis. E...

Knowledge base population (KBP) systems take in a large document corpus and extract entities and their relations. Thus far, KBP evaluation has relied on judgements on the pooled predictions of existing systems. We show that this evaluation is problematic: when a new system predicts a previously unseen relation, it is penalized even if it is correct. This leads to significant bias against new sy...

Co-evolution refers to the simultaneous evolution of two or more genetically distinct populations with coupled tness landscapes. In this paper we consider \competitive co-evolution," in which the tness of an individual in a \host" population is based on direct competition with individual(s) from a \par-asite" population. Competitive co-evolution is applied to three game-learning problems: Tic-T...

INTRODUCTION This study assessed the value of technical assistance provided by state health department expert advisors and by the staff of the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) to community groups that participated in the Action Communities for Health, Innovation, and Environmental Change (ACHIEVE) Program, a CDC-funded health promotion program. METHODS We analyzed qua...

Entity disambiguation with Wikipedia relies on structured information from redirect pages, article text, inter-article links, and categories. We explore whether web links can replace a curated encyclopaedia, obtaining entity prior, name, context, and coherence models from a corpus of web pages with links to Wikipedia. Experiments compare web link models to Wikipedia models on well-known CoNLL a...

This work describes the experience of application of a procedural initiative, which aimed to identify and address technical assistance needs progressively in therapy and rehabilitation activities. The proposal theoretical axes are the basics of participatory ergonomics and interdisciplinary work, was raised with the intention of addressing important issues for the entire design process includin...
