Yet only a small fraction of mentions across the entire Wikipedia corpus is linked. In this paper we present the automatic construction and evaluation of a Semantically Enriched Wikipedia in which the overall number of linked mentions has been more than tripled solely by exploiting the structure of Wikipedia itself and the wide-coverage sense inventory of BabelNet. As a result we obtain a sense-annotated corpus with more than 200 million annotations of over 4 million different concepts and named entities. We then show that our corpus leads to competitive results on multiple tasks, such as Entity Linking and Word Similarity.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/411","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/0411.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/411.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/bibtex/411","volume":{"slug":"2016","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2016","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/","year":2016,"location":"New York, NY, USA","dates":"9–15 July 2016","editors":"Subbarao Kambhampati","isbn":"978-1-57735-770-4; 978-1-57735-771-1","publisher":"AAAI Press / International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":411,"pages":{"first":2894,"last":2899},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
