Evaluating end-to-end entity linking on domain-specific knowledge bases: Learning about ancient technologies from museum collections
CoRR(2023)
Abstract
To study social, economic, and historical questions, researchers in the social sciences and humanities have started to use increasingly large unstructured textual datasets. While recent advances in NLP provide many tools to efficiently process such data, most existing approaches rely on generic solutions whose performance and suitability for domain-specific tasks is not well understood. This work presents an attempt to bridge this domain gap by exploring the use of modern Entity Linking approaches for the enrichment of museum collection data. We collect a dataset comprising of more than 1700 texts annotated with 7,510 mention-entity pairs, evaluate some off-the-shelf solutions in detail using this dataset and finally fine-tune a recent end-to-end EL model on this data. We show that our fine-tuned model significantly outperforms other approaches currently available in this domain and present a proof-of-concept use case of this model. We release our dataset and our best model.
