Abstract

This paper addresses the task of assigning multiple labels of fine-grained named entity (NE) types to Wikipedia articles. To address the sparseness of the input feature space, which is salient particularly in fine-grained type classification, we propose to learn article vectors (i.e. entity embeddings) from hypertext structure of Wikipedia using a Skip-gram model and incorporate them into the input feature set. To conduct large-scale practical experiments, we created a new dataset containing over 22,000 manually labeled instances. The results of our experiments show that our idea gained statistically significant improvements in classification results.
