Rupert Westenthaler resolved STANBOL-1282.
------------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
fixed with http://svn.apache.org/r1571145 in release-0.12 (0.12.1-SNAPSHOT) and
http://svn.apache.org/r1571294 in trunk (1.0.0-SNAPSHOT)
> classify Pos "Gerund" as matchable for EntityLinking

> Key: STANBOL-1282
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STANBOL-1282
> Project: Stanbol
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Enhancement Engines
> Affects Versions: 0.12.0, 1.0.0
> Reporter: Rupert Westenthaler
> Assignee: Rupert Westenthaler
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.0.0, 0.12.1
>
>
> While "Gerund" [1] are verbs it is often the case that POS tagger to apply
> this tag also to other words ending with "-ing"
> A typical example is "living" that can be used as verb, but also as noun such
> in the sentence "A report about living conditions in South Africa".
> Now assuming we have "living conditions" in a vocabulary and all Nouns are
> linked (typical configuration for linking against thesauri). "living
> conditions" would not be found as "living" tagged as Gerund (verb) is not
> considered for matching and "conditions" alone will not match "living
> conditions". Adding Gerund as matchable Pos will cause the linking engine to
> correctly link "living conditions" as the the linkable token "conditions"
> will trigger a lookup and "living" will be considered for matching.
> Real verbal usages of words tagged as Gerund will not cause lookups as they
> will not appear together with a linkable token and classifying them as
> matchable does not trigger vocabulary lookups.
> To summarize:
> While this is a workaround for POS taggers tending to tag all words ending
> with "-ing" as Gerund even if they are nouns it generally improves matching
> results without negative side effects.
