Abstract

This paper introduces the use of Wikipedia as a resource for automatic keyword extraction and word sense disambiguation, and shows how this online encyclopedia can be used to achieve state-of-the-art results on both these tasks. The paper also shows how the two methods can be combined into a system able to automatically enrich a text with links to encyclopedic knowledge. Given an input document, the system identifies the important concepts in the text and automatically links these concepts to the corresponding Wikipedia pages. Evaluations of the system show that the automatic annotations are reliable and hardly distinguishable from manual annotations. providing the users a quick way of accessing additional information. Wikipedia contributors perform these annotations by hand following a Wikipedia“manual of style,”which gives guidelines concerning the selection of important concepts in a text, as well as the assignment of links to appropriate related articles. For instance, Figure 1 shows an example of a Wikipedia page, including the definition for one of the meanings of the word “plant.”
