Event Linking: Grounding Event Mentions to Wikipedia

Understand

Comprehending an article requires understanding its constituent events.

• However, the context where an event is mentioned often lacks the details of this event.
• A question arises: how can the reader obtain more knowledge about this particular event in addition to what is provided by the local context in the article? This work defines Event Linking, a new natural language understanding task at the event level.
• Event linking tries to link an event mention appearing in an article to the most appropriate Wikipedia page.
