Archaeology in the Digital Age: From Paper to Databases
Research units in archaeology often manage large and precious archives
containing various documents, including reports on fieldwork, scholarly studies
and reference books. These archives are of course invaluable, recording decades
of work, but are generally hard to consult and access. In this context,
digitizing full text documents is not enough: information must be formalized,
structured and easy to access thanks to friendly user interfaces.Comment: Digital Humanities 2015, Jun 2015, Sydney, Australia. 2015,

A Hybrid Approach to Domain-Specific Entity Linking
The current state-of-the-art Entity Linking (EL) systems are geared towards
corpora that are as heterogeneous as the Web, and therefore perform
sub-optimally on domain-specific corpora. A key open problem is how to
construct effective EL systems for specific domains, as knowledge of the local
context should in principle increase, rather than decrease, effectiveness. In
this paper we propose the hybrid use of simple specialist linkers in
combination with an existing generalist system to address this problem. Our
main findings are the following. First, we construct a new reusable benchmark
for EL on a corpus of domain-specific conversations. Second, we test the
performance of a range of approaches under the same conditions, and show that
specialist linkers obtain high precision in isolation, and high recall when
combined with generalist linkers. Hence, we can effectively exploit local
context and get the best of both worlds.Comment: SEM'1
