Abstract

One of the core aims of semantic search is to directly present users with information instead of lists of documents. Various entity-oriented tasks have been or are being considered, including entity search and related entity finding. In the context of digital libraries for computational humanities, we consider another task, network extraction: given an input entity and a document collection, extract related entities from the collection and present them as a network. We develop a combined approach for entity network extraction that consists of a co-occurrence-based approach to association finding and a machine learning-based approach to relation extraction. We evaluate our approach by comparing the results on a ground truth obtained using a pooling method.
