ABSTRACT
Named Entity Linking (NEL) in microblogs is a challenging task due to the use of cryptic abbreviations, insufficient contextual information, and the time-varying importance of entities. We propose three techniques to target these challenges: Mention Normalization, Contextual Enrichment, and Temporal Entity Importance. By combining these novel techniques, we achieve 13% improvement in precision over a state-of-the-art NEL tool.

Evaluating Entity Linking with Wikipedia
Named Entity Linking (nel) grounds entity mentions to their corresponding node in a Knowledge Base (kb). Recently, a number of systems have been proposed for linking entity mentions in text to Wikipedia pages. Such systems typically search for candidate ...
