We introduce two techniques for Open-DB NED‚ one based on distant supervision and the other based on domain adaptation. In experiments on two domains‚ one with poor coverage by Wikipedia and the other with near-perfect coverage‚ our Open-DB NED strategies outperform a state-of-the-art Wikipedia NED system by over 25% in accuracy.

If there is little available; why lose what you have? Its shiny surface is also reflective with regards to light‚ keeping the
