Entity Linking with Wikipedia and Wikidata

Step 1: Create a Knowledge Base (KB) and training data

Run wikipedia_pretrain_kb.py

  • This takes as input the locations of a Wikipedia and a Wikidata dump, and produces a KB directory + training file
  • You can set the filtering parameters for KB construction:
    • max_per_alias: (max) number of candidate entities in the KB per alias/synonym
    • min_freq: threshold of number of times an entity should occur in the corpus to be included in the KB
    • min_pair: threshold of number of times an entity+alias combination should occur in the corpus to be included in the KB
  • Further parameters to set:
    • descriptions_from_wikipedia: whether to parse descriptions from Wikipedia (True) or Wikidata (False)
    • entity_vector_length: length of the pre-trained entity description vectors
    • lang: language for which to fetch Wikidata information (as the dump contains all languages)

Quick testing and rerunning:

  • When trying out the pipeline for a quick test, set limit_prior, limit_train and/or limit_wd to read only parts of the dumps instead of everything.
  • If you only want to (re)run certain parts of the pipeline, just remove the corresponding files and they will be recalculated or reparsed.

Step 2: Train an Entity Linking model

Run wikidata_train_entity_linker.py

  • This takes the KB directory produced by Step 1, and trains an Entity Linking model
  • You can set the learning parameters for the EL training:
    • epochs: number of training iterations
    • dropout: dropout rate
    • lr: learning rate
    • l2: L2 regularization
  • Specify the number of training and dev testing entities with train_inst and dev_inst respectively
  • Further parameters to set:
    • labels_discard: NER label types to discard during training
