  1. Natural Language Processing Fine Grain Entities Recognition

  2. Background Information • What about? • Machine recognition of English words • Identify words of interest • Why important? • Data mining • Deploying internet ads, improving automated searching results etc. • Basis for future NLP projects.

  3. What we want: Existing data: Find relations: President->Politician Politician->Person River->Location • George Washington->President, Politician, Activist • Abraham Lincoln-> President, Legislator, Politician • Mississippi River->River, Location

  4. Principle Goal 1: • Given a context-free word, return all the possible related categories.

  5. Principle Goal 2: • Achieve this goal on large data sets efficiently.

  6. Approach 1: Conditional Probability • If the data suggests that P(Politician|President)>0.9 (or other pre-determined number) • Then we can conclude that any President is a Politician • Calculation:

  7. Approach 2: Random Walk • 6,000 • 3,000 • Activist • Senator

  8. Synonyms • Strongly connect components in the constructed graph can be treated as synonyms

  9. Future work: • Extend the dataset to Wikipedia or the Web • Move from context-independent to context dependent: • Solve ambiguity in natural language • E.g “Michael Jordan” might refer to the basketball player or the Berkeley scholar.
