  • Patent number: 12086548
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for event extraction from documents with co-reference are disclosed. An event extraction service identifies one or more trigger groups in a document comprising text. An individual one of the trigger groups comprises one or more textual references to an occurrence of an event. The one or more trigger groups are associated with one or more semantic roles for entities. The event extraction service identifies one or more entity groups in the document. An individual one of the entity groups comprises one or more textual references to a real-world object. The event extraction service assigns one or more of the entity groups to one or more of the semantic roles. The event extraction service generates an output indicating the one or more trigger groups and one or more entity groups assigned to the semantic roles.

  • Publication number: 20220100772
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for context-sensitive linking of entities to private databases are disclosed. An entity linking service stores a plurality of representations of entities. Individual ones of the entities correspond to individual ones of a plurality of records in one or more private databases. The entity linking service determines a mention of an entity in a document. The entity linking service selects, from the plurality of records in the one or more private databases, a record corresponding to the entity. The record is selected based at least in part on the plurality of representations of the entities and based at least in part on a context of the mention of the entity in the document. The entity linking service generates output comprising a reference to the selected record in the one or more private databases.
