Sorry, I've left the university over 2 years ago. That remote service was developed by someone else. I've CCed the UIUC ML-NLP mailing list and Mark Sammons, who's the main man there.

As to results - pls take a look at whether the annotations themselves make sense. Compare what's returned by the service with what' returned by the online demo. Run all sorts of sanity tests on it. Then include your findings in the next email.

Pls take me out of this thread.

Best.

Peace&Love

Hi Lev,

Thanks a lot for your quick answer!

Could I please ask one more question. I tried to use Wikifier as a service working under my code as follows:

public class IllinoisWikifierService implements IllinoisWikifierServiceRemote {

  InferenceEngine inference;

  public IllinoisWikifierService(){
    try {
      ParametersAndGlobalVariables.loadConfig("./Config/Demo_Config_Deployed");
      ReferenceAssistant
          .initCategoryAttributesData(ParametersAndGlobalVariables.pathToTitleCategoryKeywordsInfo);
//      inference = new InferenceEngine(false);
      System.out.println("Started Illinois Wikifier");
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

  public Map<ResultMention, ResultEntity> disambiguate(String docId,
      String text, List<Mention> mentions) throws RemoteException {
    try {
      DisambiguationProblem problem = null;
      Map<Integer, Mention> offset2mention = new HashMap<Integer, Mention>();
      TextAnnotation ta = ParametersAndGlobalVariables.curator.getTextAnnotation(text);

     
      Vector<ReferenceInstance> refs = new Vector<ReferenceInstance>();
      int i = 0;
      for (Mention m : mentions) { // extracted from a file in folder OriginalTextsWithAnnotations
        ReferenceInstance ref = new ReferenceInstance();
        ref.surfaceForm = m.getMention();
        ref.characterOffset = m.getCharOffset();
        ref.characterLength = m.getCharLength();
        refs.add(ref);
        offset2mention.put(m.getCharOffset(), m);
       
      }

      problem = new DisambiguationProblem(docId, ta, refs);
      inference = new InferenceEngine(false);
      inference.annotate(problem, null, false, false, 0);
      //        String wikificationString = problem.wikificationString(false);

      System.out.println("INFERENCE DONE: " + problem.components.size() + " mentions.");
      i = 0;
      for (WikifiableEntity e : problem.components) {
        System.out.println(
            e.topDisambiguation.wikiData.basicTitleInfo.getTitleSurfaceForm(),
            e.linkerScore);
        Mention m = offset2mention.get(e.startOffsetCharsInText);
        if (m == null) {
          System.out.println("No mention for " + e);
        } else {
           System.out.println("adding annotation: "
              + e.topDisambiguation.wikiData.basicTitleInfo.getTitleId()
              + " linkerScore:" + e.linkerScore + " normLinkerScore:"
              + (((float) e.linkerScore + 3) / 7) + " rankerscore:"
              + e.topDisambiguation.rankerScore);
        }
      }   
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
   
    return results;
  }
}

Basically, I follow the sample in the Readme file. However, the results on the test data is not very high, around 78%.

Did I do something wrong?

Best,

Dat

Hi Dat. Thanks for the interest. I actually think that something containing "semantic and lexical" is the best. However, the demo config is almost as good. I think the demo uses only the lexical info.

Best.

Peace&Love

Hi Lev,

I would like to ask a question related to Wikifier's configuration. Could you tell me the best config file I can use? Is it the "Demo_Config_Deployed" file as Readme recommends?

Cheers,
Dat
