ABSTRACT
Tweets contain mentions of numerous entities, persons and events, and often additional information, like an opinion, that can be viewed as an annotation of that entity. However, this information is currently being accumulated only by specific applications without being made available in a generic format. We discuss a natural language processing approach to extract information about entities and their annotations from tweets and transform them into a semantic, reusable knowledge base. We believe this will greatly facilitate access to user-generated Twitter data for many applications.

Named Entity Disambiguation for Resource-Poor Languages
ESAIR '15: Proceedings of the Eighth Workshop on Exploiting Semantic Annotations in Information RetrievalNamed entity disambiguation (NED) is the task of linking ambiguous names in natural language text to canonical entities like people, organizations or places, registered in a knowledge base. The problem is well-studied for English text, but few systems ...
Building a semantically annotated corpus of clinical texts
In this paper, we describe the construction of a semantically annotated corpus of clinical texts for use in the development and evaluation of systems for automatically extracting clinically significant information from the textual component of patient ...
AIDA-Social: Entity Linking on the Social Stream
ESAIR '14: Proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Exploiting Semantic Annotations in Information RetrievalNamed Entity Linking (NEL) in microblogs is a challenging task due to the use of cryptic abbreviations, insufficient contextual information, and the time-varying importance of entities. We propose three techniques to target these challenges: Mention ...
