Remarks

EntityLinking identifies named entities in document text and links them to canonical representations or external knowledge bases.

For Beginners: Documents contain references to people, places, organizations, and other entities. This tool identifies them:

• Extract named entities (people, places, organizations)
• Link entities to canonical forms
• Resolve entity references
• Build entity relationships

Key features:

• Named entity recognition
• Entity disambiguation
• Reference resolution
• Relationship extraction

Example usage:

var linker = new EntityLinking<float>();
var entities = linker.Process(documentText);

Constructors

EntityLinking()

Creates a new EntityLinking instance.

public EntityLinking()

Properties

SupportsInverse

Entity linking does not support inverse transformation.

public override bool SupportsInverse { get; }

Property Value

bool
