Leveraging Entity Linking and Related Language Projection to Improve Name Transliteration

2016

Traditional name transliteration methods largely ignore source context information and inter-dependency among entities for entity disambiguation. We propose a novel approach to leverage state-of-the-art Entity Linking (EL) techniques to automatically correct name transliteration results, using …
