  \subsection{Entity Types: Wikipedia and Twitter}
 
Table \ref{tab:name} summarizes the differences between Wikipedia and
 
Twitter entities.  Wikipedia entities' canonical representation
 
achieves a recall of 70\%, while canonical partial achieves a recall of 86.1\%. This is an
 
increase in recall of 16.1\%. By contrast, the increase in recall of
 
name-variant partial over name-variant is 8.3\%.
 
%This high increase in recall when moving from canonical names to their
 
%partial names, in comparison to the lower increase when moving from
 
%all name variants to their partial names can be explained by
 
%saturation: documents have already been extracted by the different
 
%name variants and thus using their partial names do not bring in many
 
%new relevant documents.
 
For Wikipedia entities, canonical
 
partial achieves better recall than name-variant in both the cleansed and
 
the raw corpus.  %In the raw extraction, the difference is about 3.7.
 
In Twitter entities, recall of canonical matching is very low.%
 
\footnote{Canonical
 
and canonical partial are the same for Twitter entities because they
 
are one word strings. For example in https://twitter.com/roryscovel,
 
``roryscovel`` is the canonical name and its partial is identical.}
 
%The low recall is because the canonical names of Twitter entities are
 
%not really names; they are usually arbitrarily created user names. It
 
%shows that  documents  refer to them by their display names, rarely
 
%by their user name, which is reflected in the name-variant recall
 
%(67.9\%). The use of name-variant partial increases the recall to
 
%88.2\%.
 
 
 
 
The tables in \ref{tab:name} and \ref{tab:source-delta} show a higher recall
 
for Wikipedia than for Twitter entities. Generally, at both
 
aggregate and document category levels, we observe that recall
 
increases as we move from canonicals to canonical partial, to
 
name-variant, and to name-variant partial. The only case where this
 
does not hold is in the transition from Wikipedia's canonical partial
 
to name-variant. At the aggregate level (as can be inferred from Table
 
\ref{tab:name}), the difference in performance between  canonical  and
 
name-variant partial is 31.9\% on all entities, 20.7\% on Wikipedia
 
entities, and 79.5\% on Twitter entities. 
 
 
Section \ref{sec:analysis} discusses the most plausible explanations for these findings.

\section{Impact on classification}
 
In the overall experimental setup, classification, ranking, and
 
evaluation are kept constant. Following \cite{balog2013multi}
 
settings, we use
 
WEKA's\footnote{\url{http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ml/weka/}} Classification
 
Random Forest. However, we use fewer numbers of features which we
 
found to be more effective. We determined the effectiveness of the
 
features by running the classification algorithm using the fewer
 
features we implemented and their features. Our feature
 
implementations achieved better results.  The total numbers of
 
features we used are 13 and are listed below.
 
  
 
\paragraph*{Google's Cross Lingual Dictionary (GCLD)}
 
 
This is a mapping of strings to Wikipedia concepts and vice versa
 
\cite{spitkovsky2012cross}. 
 
(1) the probability with which a string is used as anchor text to
 
a Wikipedia entity 
 
 
\paragraph*{jac} 
 
  Jaccard similarity between the document and the entity's Wikipedia page
 
\paragraph*{cos} 
 
  Cosine similarity between the document and the entity's Wikipedia page
 
\paragraph*{kl} 
 
  KL-divergence between the document and the entity's Wikipedia page
 
  
 
  \paragraph*{PPR}
 
For each entity, we computed a PPR score from
 
a Wikipedia snapshot  and we kept the top 100  entities along
 
with the corresponding scores.
 
 
 
\paragraph*{Surface Form (sForm)}
 
For each Wikipedia entity, we gathered DBpedia name variants. These
 
are redirects, labels and names.
 
 
 
\paragraph*{Context (contxL, contxR)}
 
From the WikiLink corpus \cite{singh12:wiki-links}, we collected
 
all left and right contexts (2 sentences left and 2 sentences
 
right) and generated n-grams between uni-grams and quadro-grams
 
for each left and right context. 
 
Finally,  we select  the 5 most frequent n-grams for each context.
 
 
\paragraph*{FirstPos}
 
  Term position of the first occurrence of the target entity in the document 
 
  body 
 
\paragraph*{LastPos }
 
  Term position of the last occurrence of the target entity in the document body
 
 
\paragraph*{LengthBody} Term count of document body
 
\paragraph*{LengthAnchor} Term count  of document anchor
 
  
 
\paragraph*{FirstPosNorm} 
 
  Term position of the first occurrence of the target entity in the document 
 
  body normalised by the document length 
 
\paragraph*{MentionsBody }
 
  No. of occurrences of the target entity in the  document body
 
 
 
 
  
 
  Features we use incude similarity features such as cosine and jaccard, document-entity features such as docuemnt mentions entity in title, in body, frequency  of mention, etc., and related entity features such as page rank scores. In total we sue  The features consist of similarity measures between the KB entiities profile text, document-entity features such as  
 
  In here, we present results showing how  the choices in corpus, entity types, and entity profiles impact these latest stages of the pipeline.  In tables \ref{tab:class-vital} and \ref{tab:class-vital-relevant}, we show the performances in max-F.

Table \ref{tab:class-vital} shows the recall performance for vitally judged documents.  On Wikipedia entities, except in the canonical profile, the cleansed version achieves  better results than the raw version.  However, on Twitter entities, the raw corpus achieves  better  in all entity profiles (except  in name-variant partial).  At an aggregate (both Wikipedia and Twitter) level, we see that in three profiles, cleansed achieves better.  Only in canonical partial, does raw perform better. Overall cleansed achieves better results than raw.  This result is interesting because we saw in previous sections that the raw corpus achieves  higher recall than cleansed. In the case name-variant partial, for example, 10\% more relevant documents are retrieved in the raw corpus. The gain in recall in raw corpus does not translate into a gain in F\_measure. In fact, in most cases F\_measure decreased. % One explanation for this is that it brings in many false positives from, among related links, adverts, etc.  
 
For Wikipedia entities,  canonical partial  achieves the highest performance. For Twitter, name-variant partial achieves  better results.
 
 
In vital-relevant category (Table \ref{tab:class-vital-relevant}), the performances are different.  Except in canonical partial,  raw achieves better results in all cases. For Twitter entities, the raw corpus achieves better results in all cases.  In terms of  entity profiles, Wikipedia's canonical partial  achieves  the best F-score. For Twitter, as before, canonical partial. The raw corpus has more effect on relevant documents and Twitter entities.  
 
 
%The fact that canonical partial names achieve better results is interesting.  We know that partial names were used as a baseline in TREC KBA 2012, but no one of the KBA participants actually used partial names for filtering.

\section{Analysis and Discussion}\label{sec:analysis}
 
 
 
We conducted experiments to study  the impacts on recall of 
 
different components of the filtering stage of entity-based filtering and ranking pipeline. Specifically 
 
we conducted experiments to study the impacts of cleansing, 
 
entity profiles, relevance ratings, categories of documents, entity profiles. We also measured  impact of the different factors and choices  on later stages of the pipeline. 
 
 
Experimental results show that cleansing can remove entire or parts of the content of documents making them difficult to retrieve. These documents can, otherwise, be retrieved from the raw version. The use of the raw corpus brings in documents that can not be retrieved from the cleansed corpus. This is true for all entity profiles and for all entity types. The  recall difference between the cleansed and raw ranges from  6.8\% t 26.2\%. These increases, in actual document-entity pairs,  is in thousands. We believe this is a substantial increase. However, the recall increases do not always translate to improved F-score in overall performance.  In the vital relevance ranking for both Wikipedia and aggregate entities, the cleansed version performs better than the raw version.  In Twitter entities, the raw corpus achieves better except in the case of all name-variant, though the difference is negligible.  However, for vital-relevant, the raw corpus performs  better across all entity profiles and entity types 
 
except in partial canonical names of Wikipedia entities. 
 
 
The use of different profiles also shows a big difference in recall. Except in the case of Wikipedia where the use of canonical partial achieves better than name-variant, there is a steady increase in recall from canonical to  canonical partial, to name-variant, and to name-variant partial. This pattern is also observed across the document categories.  However, here too, the relationship between   the gain in recall as we move from less richer profile to a more richer profile and overall performance as measured by F-score  is not linear. 
 
 
 
%%%%% MOVED FROM LATER ON - CHECK FLOW
 
 
There is a trade-off between using a richer entity-profile and retrieval of irrelevant documents. The richer the profile, the more relevant documents it retrieves, but also the more irrelevant documents. To put it into perspective, lets compare the number of documents that are retrieved with  canonical partial and with name-variant partial. Using the raw corpus, the former retrieves a total of 2547487 documents and achieves a recall of 72.2\%. By contrast, the later retrieves a total of 4735318 documents and achieves a recall of 90.2\%. The total number of documents extracted increases by 85.9\% for a recall gain of 18\%. The rest of the documents, that is 67.9\%, are newly introduced irrelevant documents. 
 
 
%%%%%%%%%%%%
 
 
 
In vital ranking, across all entity profiles and types of corpus, Wikipedia's canonical partial  achieves better performance than any other Wikipedia entity profiles. In vital-relevant documents too, Wikipedia's canonical partial achieves the best result. In the raw corpus, it achieves a little less than name-variant partial. For Twitter entities, the name-variant partial profile achieves the highest F-score across all entity profiles and types of corpus.  
 
 
 
There are 3 interesting observations: 
 
 
1) cleansing impacts Twitter
 
entities and relevant documents.  This  is validated by the
 
observation that recall  gains in Twitter entities and the relevant
 
categories in the raw corpus also translate into overall performance
 
gains. This observation implies that cleansing removes relevant and
 
social documents than it does vital and news. That it removes relevant
 
documents more than vital can be explained by the fact that cleansing
 
removes the related links and adverts which may contain a mention of
 
the entities. One example we saw was the the cleansing removed an
 
image with a text of an entity name which was actually relevant. And
 
that it removes social documents can be explained by the fact that
 
most of the missing of the missing  docuemnts from cleansed are
 
social. And all the docuemnts that are missing from raw corpus
 
social. So in both cases socuial seem to suffer from text
 
transformation and cleasing processes. 
 
 
%%%% NEEDS WORK:
 
 
2) Taking both performance (recall at filtering and overall F-score
 
during evaluation) into account, there is a clear trade-off between using a richer entity-profile and retrieval of irrelevant documents. The richer the profile, the more relevant documents it retrieves, but also the more irrelevant documents. To put it into perspective, lets compare the number of documents that are retrieved with  canonical partial and with name-variant partial. Using the raw corpus, the former retrieves a total of 2547487 documents and achieves a recall of 72.2\%. By contrast, the later retrieves a total of 4735318 documents and achieves a recall of 90.2\%. The total number of documents extracted increases by 85.9\% for a recall gain of 18\%. The rest of the documents, that is 67.9\%, are newly introduced irrelevant documents. 
 
 
Wikipedia's canonical partial is the best entity profile for Wikipedia entities. This is interesting  to see that the retrieval of of  thousands vital-relevant document-entity pairs by name-variant partial does not translate to an increase in over all performance. It is even more interesting since canonical partial was not considered as contending profile for stream filtering by any of participant to the best of our knowledge. With this understanding, there  is actually no need to go and fetch different names variants from DBpedia, a saving of time and computational resources.
 
 
 
%%%%%%%%%%%%
 
 
 
 
 
The deltas between entity profiles, relevance ratings, and document categories reveal four differences between Wikipedia and Twitter entities. 1) For Wikipedia entities, the difference between canonical partial and canonical is higher(16.1\%) than between name-variant partial and  name-variant(8.3\%).  This can be explained by saturation. This is to mean that documents have already been extracted by  name-variants and thus using their partials does not bring in many new relevant documents.  2) Twitter entities are mentioned by name-variant or name-variant partial and that is seen in the high recall achieved  compared to the low recall achieved by canonical(or their partial). This indicates that documents (specially news and others) almost never use user names to refer to Twitter entities. Name-variant partials are the best entity profiles for Twitter entities. 3) However, comparatively speaking, social documents refer to Twitter entities by their user names than news and others suggesting a difference in 
 
adherence to standard in names and naming. 4) Wikipedia entities achieve higher recall and higher overall performance. 
 
 
The high recall and subsequent higher overall performance of Wikipedia entities can  be due to two reasons. 1) Wikipedia entities are relatively well described than Twitter entities. The fact that we can retrieve different name variants from DBpedia is a measure of relatively rich description. Rich description plays a role in both filtering and computation of features such as similarity measures in later stages of the pipeline.   By contrast, we have only two names for Twitter entities: their user names and their display names which we collect from their Twitter pages. 2) There is not DBpedia-like resource for Twitter entities from which alternative names cane be collected.   
 
 
 
In the experimental results, we also observed that recall scores in the vital category are higher than in the relevant category. This observation  confirms one commonly held assumption:(frequency) mention is related to relevance.  this is the assumption why term frequency is used an indicator of document relevance in many information retrieval systems. The more  a document mentions an entity explicitly by name, the more likely the document is vital to the entity.
 
 
Across document categories, we observe a pattern in recall of others, followed by news, and then by social. Social documents are the hardest to retrieve. This can be explained by the fact that social documents (tweets and  blogs) are more likely to point to a resource where the entity is mentioned, mention the entities with some short abbreviation, or talk without mentioning the entities, but with some context in mind. By contrast news documents mention the entities they talk about using the common name variants more than social documents do. However, the greater difference in percentage recall between the different entity profiles in the news category indicates news refer to a given entity with different names, rather than by one standard name. By contrast others show least variation in referring to news. Social documents falls in between the two.  The deltas, for Wikipedia entities, between canonical partials and canonicals,  and name-variants and canonicals are high, an indication that canonical partials 
 
and name-variants bring in new relevant documents that can not be retrieved by canonicals. The rest of the two deltas are very small,  suggesting that partial names of name variants do not bring in new relevant documents. 
 
 
 
\section{Unfilterable documents}
 
 
\subsection{Missing vital-relevant documents \label{miss}}
 
 
% 
 
 
 The use of name-variant partial for filtering is an aggressive attempt to retrieve as many relevant documents as possible at the cost of retrieving irrelevant documents. However, we still miss about  2363(10\%) of the vital-relevant documents.  Why are these documents missed? If they are not mentioned by partial names of name variants, what are they mentioned by? Table \ref{tab:miss} shows the documents that we miss with respect to cleansed and raw corpus.  The upper part shows the number of documents missing from cleansed and raw versions of the corpus. The lower part of the table shows the intersections and exclusions in each corpus.

\label{tab:miss}
 
\end{table}
 
 
One would  assume that  the set of document-entity pairs extracted from cleansed are a sub-set of those   that are extracted from the raw corpus. We find that that is not the case. There are 217  unique entity-document pairs that are retrieved from the cleansed corpus, but not from the raw. 57 of them are vital.    Similarly,  there are  3081 document-entity pairs that are missing  from cleansed, but are present in  raw. 1065 of them are vital.  Examining the content of the documents reveals that it is due to a missing part of text from a corresponding document.  All the documents that we miss from the raw corpus are social. These are documents such as tweets and blogs, posts from other social media. To meet the format of the raw data (binary byte array), some of them must have been converted later, after collection and on the way lost a part or the entire content. It is similar for the documents that we miss from cleansed: a part or the entire content  is lost in during the cleansing process (the removal of 
 
HTML tags and non-English documents).  In both cases the mention of the entity happened to be on the part of the text that is cut out during transformation. 
 
 
 
 
 The interesting set  of relevance judgments are those that  we miss from both raw and cleansed extractions. These are 2146 unique document-entity pairs, 219 of them are with vital relevance judgments.   The total number of entities in the missed vital annotations is  28 Wikipedia and 7  Twitter, making a total of 35. The  great majority (86.7\%) of the documents are social. This suggests that social (tweets and blogs) can talk about the entities without mentioning  them by name more than news and others do. This is, of course, inline with intuition. 
 
   
 
 
 
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 
 
We observed that there are vital-relevant documents that we miss from raw only, and similarly from cleansed only. The reason for this is transformation from one format to another. The most interesting documents are those that we miss from both raw and cleansed corpus. We first identified the number of KB entities who have a vital relevance judgment and  whose documents can not be retrieved (they were 35 in total) and conducted a manual examination into their content to find out why they are missing. 
 
 
 
 
 
 We  observed  that among the missing documents, different document ids can have the same content, and be judged multiple times for a given entity.  %In the vital annotation, there are 88 news, and 409 weblog. 
 
 Avoiding duplicates, we randomly selected 35 documents, one for each entity.   The documents are 13 news and  22  social. Here below we have classified the situation under which a document can be vital for an entity without mentioning the entities with the different entity  profiles we used for filtering. 
 
 
\paragraph{Outgoing link mentions} A post (tweet) with an outgoing link which mentions the entity.
 
\paragraph{Event place - Event} A document that talks about an event is vital to the location entity where it takes place.  For example Maha Music Festival takes place in Lewis and Clark\_Landing, and a document talking about the festival is vital for the park. There are also cases where an event's address places the event in a park and due to that the document becomes vital to the park. This is basically being mentioned by address which belongs to alarger space. 
 
\paragraph{Entity -related entity} A document about an important figure such as artist, athlete  can be vital to another. This is specially true if the two are contending for the same title, one has snatched a title, or award from the other. 
 
\paragraph{Organization - main activity} A document that talks about about an area on which the company is active is vital for the organization. For example, Atacocha is a mining company  and a news item on mining waste was annotated vital. 
 
\paragraph{Entity - group} If an entity belongs to a certain group (class),  a news item about the group can be vital for the individual members. FrankandOak is  named innovative company and a news item that talks about the group  of innovative companies is relevant for a  it. Other examples are: a  big event  of which an entity is related such an Film awards for actors. 
 
\paragraph{Artist - work} Documents that discuss the work of artists can be relevant to the artists. Such cases include  books or films being vital for the book author or the director (actor) of the film. Robocop is film whose screenplay is by Joshua Zetumer. A blog that talks about the film was judged vital for Joshua Zetumer. 
 
\paragraph{Politician - constituency} A major political event in a certain constituency is vital for the politician from that constituency. 
 
\paragraph*{Outgoing link mentions} A post (tweet) with an outgoing link which mentions the entity.
 
\paragraph*{Event place - Event} A document that talks about an event is vital to the location entity where it takes place.  For example Maha Music Festival takes place in Lewis and Clark\_Landing, and a document talking about the festival is vital for the park. There are also cases where an event's address places the event in a park and due to that the document becomes vital to the park.

\paragraph*{Politician - constituency} A major political event in a certain constituency is vital for the politician from that constituency. 
 
 A good example is a weblog that talks about two north Dakota counties being drought disasters. The news is vital for Joshua Boschee, a politician, a member of North Dakota democratic party.  
 
\paragraph{head - organization} A document that talks about an organization of which the entity is the head can be vital for the entity.  Jasper\_Schneider is USDA Rural Development state director for North Dakota and an article about problems of primary health centers in North Dakota is judged vital for him. 
 
\paragraph{World Knowledge} Some things are impossible to know without your world knowledge. For example ''refreshments, treats, gift shop specials, "bountiful, fresh and fabulous holiday decor," a demonstration of simple ways to create unique holiday arrangements for any home; free and open to the public`` is judged relevant to Hjemkomst\_Center. This is a social media post, and unless one knows the person posting it, there is no way that this text shows that. Similarly ''learn about the gray wolf's hunting and feeding behaviors and watch the wolves have their evening meal of a full deer carcass; $15 for members, $20 for nonmembers`` is judged vital to Red\_River\_Zoo.  
 
\paragraph{No document content} Some documents were found to have no content
 
\paragraph{Not clear why} It is not clear why some documents are annotated vital for some entities.

\paragraph*{No document content} A small number of documents were found to have no content.
 
\paragraph*{Disagreement} For a few remaining documents, the authors disagree with the assessors as to why these are vital to the entity.
 

	
 
 
 
\section{Conclusions}
 
In this paper, we examined the filtering stage of the entity-centric stream filtering and ranking  by holding the later stages of fixed. In particular, we studied the cleansing step, different entity profiles, type of entities(Wikipedia or Twitter), categories of documents(news, social, or others) and the relevance ratings. We attempted to address the following research questions: 1) does cleansing affect filtering and subsequent performance? 2) what is the most effective way of entity profiling? 3) is filtering different for Wikipedia and Twitter entities? 4) are some type of documents easily filterable and others not? 5) does a gain in recall at filtering step translate to a gain in F-measure at the end of the pipeline? and 6) what are the circumstances under which vital documents can not be retrieved? 
 
 
Cleansing does remove parts or entire contents of documents making them irretrievable. However, because of the introduction of false positives, recall gains by  raw corpus and some  richer entity profiles do not necessarily translate to overall performance gain. The results conclusion on this is mixed in the sense that cleansing helps improve the recall on vital documents and Wikipedia entities, but reduces the recall on Twitter entities and the relative category of relevance ranking. Vital and relevant documents show a difference in retrieval nonperformance documents are easier to filter than relevant.  
 
 
 
Despite an aggressive attempt to filter as many vital-relevant documents as possible,  we observe that there are still documents that we miss. While some are possible to retrieve with some modifications, some others are not. There are some document that indicate that an information filtering system does not seem to get them no matter how rich representation of entities they use. These circumstances under which this happens are many. We found that some documents have no content at all, subjectivity(it is not clear why some are judged vital). However, the main circumstances under which vital  documents can defy filtering is: outgoing link mentions, 
 
venue-event, entity - related entity, organization - main area of operation, entity - group, artist - artist's work,  party-politician, and world knowledge.
