ALTA Shared-task 2016: Filter and Match Approach to Pair-wise Web URI Linking

摘要

This paper describes the method and results of our approach, submitted as team 'NLPCruise' at ALTA shared task 2016. The goal of the shared task is to predict whether two given web Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) correspond to the same entity or not. Retrieving the URI content in addition to the dataset provided, we built a two stage filter and match technique that utilises search engine scores, semantic similarity and machine translation features. Our model achieved an F1 score of 0.85714 on the public test-set and ranked second finally on the private leaderboard.
