AIDA is a framework and online tool for entity detection and disambiguation. Given a natural-language text or a Web table,
It mapsmentions of ambiguous names onto canonical entities (e.g., individualpeople or places) registered in the YAGO2 knowledge base.
You can try AIDA on any text you like in the online demo. In case you are interested in using AIDA programmatically, the source code is available on github.com/yago-naga/aida.
To experimentally verify the quality of AIDA, we annotated nearly 1,400newswire articles with the entities mentioned in each article. Thiscollection is available for download
