    摘要: Multi-modal entity linking plays a crucial role in a wide range of knowledge-based modal-fusion tasks, i.e., multi-modal retrieval and multi-modal event extraction. We introduce the new ZEro-shot Multi-modal Entity Linking (ZEMEL) task, the format is similar to multi-modal entity linking, but multi-modal mentions are linked to unseen entities in the knowledge graph, and the purpose of zero-shot setting is to realize robust linking in highly specialized domains. Simultaneously, the inference efficiency of existing models is low when there are many candidate entities. On this account, we propose a novel model that leverages visual#2; linguistic representation through the co-attentional mechanism to deal with the ZEMEL task, considering the trade-off between performance and efficiency of the model. We also build a dataset named ZEMELD for the new task, which contains multi-modal data resources collected from Wikipedia, and we annotate the entities as ground truth. Extensive experimental results on the dataset show that our proposed model is effective as it significantly improves the precision from 68.93% to 82.62% comparing with baselines in the ZEMEL task.

    摘要: Temporal information is pervasive and crucial in medical records and other clinical text, as it formulates the development process of medical conditions and is vital for clinical decision making. However, providing a holistic knowledge representation and reasoning framework for various time expressions in the clinical text is challenging. In order to capture complex temporal semantics in clinical text, we propose a novel Clinical Time Ontology (CTO) as an extension from OWL framework. More specifically, we identified eight time#2; related problems in clinical text and created 11 core temporal classes to conceptualize the fuzzy time, cyclic time, irregular time, negations and other complex aspects of clinical time. Then, we extended Allens and TEOs temporal relations and defined the relation concept description between complex and simple time. Simultaneously, we provided a formulaic and graphical presentation of complex time and complex time relationships. We carried out empirical study on the expressiveness and usability of CTO using real-world healthcare datasets. Finally, experiment results demonstrate that CTO could faithfully represent and reason over 93% of the temporal expressions, and it can cover a wider range of time-related classes in clinical domain.

    摘要: Existing visual scene understanding methods mainly focus on identifying coarse-grained concepts about the visual objects and their relationships, largely neglecting fine-grained scene understanding. In fact, many data-driven applications on the Web (e.g., news-reading and e-shopping) require accurate recognition of much less coarse concepts as entities and proper linking them to a knowledge graph (KG), which can take their performance to the next level. In light of this, in this paper, we identify a new research task: visual entity linking for fine-grained scene understanding. To accomplish the task, we first extract features of candidate entities from different modalities, i.e., visual features, textual features, and KG features. Then, we design a deep modal-attention neural network-based learning-to-rank method which aggregates all features and maps visual objects to the entities in KG. Extensive experimental results on the newly constructed dataset show that our proposed method is effective as it significantly improves the accuracy performance from 66.46% to 83.16% compared with baselines.
