The document discusses entity linking, which involves connecting natural language references to real-world entities. It first reviews existing entity recognition and relationship modeling techniques. It then examines earlier "brute force" entity linking methods based on string and context matching. The document outlines some improvements to these methods, such as hashing techniques. Finally, it discusses more advanced approaches that use collective contexts and knowledge graph statistics to better handle challenging cases.
