Hadoop Indexing and Concept-Space Disambiguation Models for DBpedia Spotlight

by Chris Hokamp for DBpedia Spotlight

My project proposal is divided into two sections: (1) creating a Hadoop indexing system for DBpedia Spotlight and (2) implementing three novel approaches to disambiguation: Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), Explicit Semantic Analysis (ESA), and Salient Semantic Analysis (SSA). These concept-space disambiguation modules will be used to rank the possible URIs for spotted entities based on context.
