| Abstract | The Text Analysis Conference (TAC) is a series of Natural Language Processingevaluation workshops organized by the National Institute of Standards andTechnology. The Knowledge Base Population (KBP) track at TAC 2009, a hybriddescendant of the TREC Question Answering track and the Automated ContentExtraction (ACE) evaluation program, is designed to support development ofsystems that are capable of automatically populating a knowledge base withinformation about entities mined from unstructured text. An important componentof the KBP evaluation is the Entity Linking task, where systems must accuratelyassociate text mentions of unknown Person (PER), Organization (ORG), andGeopolitical (GPE) names to entries in a knowledge base. Linguistic DataConsortium (LDC) at the University of Pennsylvania creates and distributeslinguistic resources including data, annotations, system assessment, tools andspecifications for the TAC KBP evaluations. This paper describes the 2009resource creation efforts, with particular focus on the selection anddevelopment of named entity mentions for the Entity Linking task evaluation. |
