Abstract:

In recent years, the ever-increasing quantities of entities in large knowledge bases on the Web, such as DBpedia, Freebase and YAGO, pose new challenges but at the same time open up new opportunities for intelligent information access. These knowledge bases (KBs) have become valuable resources in many research areas, such as natural language processing (NLP) and information retrieval (IR). Recently, almost every major commercial Web search engine has incorporated entities into their search process, including Google’s Knowledge Graph, Yahoo!’s Web of Objects and Microsoft’s Satori Graph/Bing Snapshots. The goal is to bridge the semantic gap between natural language text and formalized knowledge.

Within the context of globalization, multilingual and cross-lingual access to information has emerged as an issue of major interest.
