Hi all, This is my current progress with GSOC work. After discussing with my mentor Rafa, we have decided to use aidalight[1] as the disambiguation service to use. Aidalight can be directly integrated with Stanbol because it is licensed with Apache licence 2,0.
I have first converted the aidalight project into a maven project and implemented REST services that can use externally defined mentions for disambiguation. Therefore it is possible to use stanbol text annotations with this service. Code for Aidalight REST server can be found here [2]. Aidalight server needs a server machine with at least 30GB main memory to run. I am very grateful for Rafa for finding me a server that can run aidalight server. We have tested the server and here is a sample result. Text : With United, Beckham won the Premier League title 6 times Manually tagged mentions: United, Beckham, Premier League Output from Server: mention: Beckham, entity: David_Beckham, Confidence: 1.120247486075907 mention: United, entity: United_Kingdom, Confidence: 0.6374717182561688 mention: Premier League, entity: Premier_League, Confidence: 1.1851138632800318 I have also implemented an enhancement engine to use aidalight server with stanbol text annotations. Code for engine can be found here [3]. I am currently testing the engine. In the remaining time of the project, I will continue improving the code and completing the documentation. Any suggestions and comments are more than welcome cheers, Chalitha [1] https://code.google.com/p/aidalight/ [2] https://github.com/ChalithaUdara/Apache-Stanbol-Disambiguation-API/tree/master/stanbol-aidalight-server [3] https://github.com/ChalithaUdara/Apache-Stanbol-Disambiguation-API/tree/master/aidalight-disambiguation -- J.M Chalitha Udara Perera *Department of Computer Science and Engineering,* *University of Moratuwa,* *Sri Lanka*
