ABSTRACT
SYNDIKATE comprises a family of text understanding systems for automatically acquiring knowledge from real-world texts, viz. information technology test reports and medical finding reports. Their content is transformed to formal representation structures which constitute corresponding text knowledge bases. SYNDIKATE's architecture integrates requirements from the analysis of single sentences, as well as those of referentially linked sentences forming cohesive texts. Besides centering-based discourse analysis mechanisms for pronominal, nominal and bridging anaphora, SYNDIKATE is supplied with a learning module for automatically bootstrapping its domain knowledge as text analysis proceeds.

Entity disambiguation for knowledge base population
COLING '10: Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Computational LinguisticsThe integration of facts derived from information extraction systems into existing knowledge bases requires a system to disambiguate entity mentions in the text. This is challenging due to issues such as non-uniform variations in entity names, mention ...
Populating knowledge base with collective entity mentions: a graph-based approach
ASONAM '14: Proceedings of the 2014 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and MiningPopulating a knowledge base with new entity mentions extracted from unstructured text can help enhance its coverage and freshness. It naturally consists of two subtasks, namely, fine-grained entity classification and entity linking. Existing studies ...
