FALCON: An entity and relation linking framework over DBpedia

Abstract

We tackle the problem of entity and relation linking and present FALCON, a rule-based tool able to accurately map entities and relations in short texts to resources in a knowledge graph. FALCON resorts to fundamental principles of the English morphology (e.g., compounding and headword identification) and performs joint entity and relation linking against a short text. We demonstrate the benefits of the rule-based approach implemented in FALCON on short texts composed of various types of entities. The attendees will observe the behavior of FALCON on the observed limitations of Entity Linking (EL) and Relation Linking (RL) tools. The demo is available at https://labs.tib.eu/falcon/.
