\label{tab:name}

\end{table}

The upper part of Table \ref{tab:name} shows the recall performances on the cleansed version and the lower part on the raw version. The recall performances for all entity types  are increased substantially in the raw version. Recall increases on Wikipedia entities  vary from 8.2 to 12.8, and in Twitter entities from 6.8 to 26.2. In all entities, it ranges from 8.0 to 13.6.  The recall increases are substantial. To put it into perspective, an 11.8 increase in recall on all entities is a retrieval of 2864 more unique document-entity pairs. %This suggests that cleansing has removed some documents that we could otherwise retrieve. 

\subsection{Entity Profiles}

If we look at the recall performances for the raw corpus,   filtering documents by canonical names achieves a recall of  59\%.  Adding other name variants  improves the recall to 79.8\%, an increase of 20.8\%. This means  20.8\% of documents mentioned the entities by other names  rather than by their canonical names. Canonical partial  achieves a recall of 72\%  and name-variant partial achives 90.2\%. This says that 18.2\% of documents mentioned the entities by  partial names of other non-canonical name variants.

\end{table*}

%The break down of the raw corpus by document source category is presented in Table

%\ref{tab:source-delta}.  

 \subsection{ Relevance Rating: vital and relevant}

When comparing recall for vital and relevant, we observe that

canonical names are more effective for vital than for relevant

entities, in particular for the Wikipedia entities. 

%For example, the recall for news is 80.1 and for social is 76, while the corresponding recall in relevant is 75.6 and 63.2 respectively.

We conclude that the most relevant documents mention the

entities by their common name variants.

%  \subsection{Difference by document categories}

%  

%  Generally, there is greater variation in relevant rank than in vital. This is specially true in most of the Delta's for Wikipedia. This  maybe be explained by news items referring to  vital documents by a some standard name than documents that are relevant. Twitter entities show greater deltas than Wikipedia entities in both vital and relevant. The greater variation can be explained by the fact that the canonical name of Twitter entities retrieves very few documents. The deltas that involve canonical names of Twitter entities, thus, show greater deltas.  

%  

% If we look in recall performances, In Wikipedia entities, the order seems to be others, news and social. This means that others achieve a higher recall than news than social.  However, in Twitter entities, it does not show such a strict pattern. In all, entities also, we also see almost the same pattern of other, news and social. 

\subsection{Recall across document categories: others, news and social}

The recall for Wikipedia entities in Table \ref{tab:name} ranged from

61.8\% (canonicals) to 77.9\% (name-variants).  Table

\ref{tab:source-delta} shows how recall is distributed across document

categories. For Wikipedia entities, across all entity profiles, others

have a higher recall followed by news, and then by social.  While the

recall for news ranges from 76.4\% to 98.4\%, the recall for social

documents ranges from 65.7\% to 86.8\%. In Twitter entities, however,

the pattern is different. In canonicals (and their partials), social

documents achieve higher recall than news.

%This indicates that social documents refer to Twitter entities by their canonical names (user names) more than news do. In name- variant partial, news achieve better results than social. The difference in recall between canonicals and name-variants show that news do not refer to Twitter entities by their user names, they refer to them by their display names.

Overall, across all entities types and all entity profiles, documents

in the others category achieve a higher recall than news, and news documents, in turn, achieve higher recall than social documents. 

% This suggests that social documents are the hardest  to retrieve.  This  makes sense since social posts such as tweets and blogs are short and are more likely to point to other resources, or use short informal names.

%%NOTE TABLE REMOVED:\\\\

%

%We computed four percentage increases in recall (deltas)  between the

%different entity profiles (Table \ref{tab:source-delta2}). The first

%delta is the recall percentage between canonical partial  and

%canonical. The second  is  between name= variant and canonical. The

%third is the difference between name-variant partial  and canonical

%partial and the fourth between name-variant partial and

%name-variant. we believe these four deltas offer a clear meaning. The

%delta between name-variant and canonical means the percentage of

%documents that the new name variants retrieve, but the canonical name

%does not. Similarly, the delta between  name-variant partial and

%partial canonical-partial means the percentage of document-entity

%pairs that can be gained by the partial names of the name variants. 

% The  biggest delta  observed is in Twitter entities between partials

% of all name variants and partials of canonicals (93\%). delta. Both

% of them are for news category.  For Wikipedia entities, the highest

% delta observed is 19.5\% in cano\_part - cano followed by 17.5\% in

% all\_part in relevant. 

  \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.

%% TODO: PERHAPS SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION HERE

\section{Impact on classification}\label{sec:impact}

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)}

(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.

\end{table*}

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.
