Abstract:

NLP techniques are disclosed that apply computer technology to sentence data for performing entity referencing. For example, a processor can parse sentence data in a defined window of sentence data into a list of entity terms and a plurality of classifications associated with the listed entity terms. A processor can also a plurality of context saliency scores for a plurality of the listed entity terms based on the classifications associated with the listed entity terms as well as maintain a list of referring terms corresponding to the listed entity terms. For new sentence data that includes a referring term from the referring term list, a processor can (i) select a corresponding entity term on the entity term list based on the context saliency scores for the entity terms, and (ii) infer that the referring term in the new sentence data refers to the selected corresponding entity term.
