accuracy of extracted entities, and links them to true entities in a database. We will investigate and develop_x000D_
solutions to extract mentions of entities from forum posts by considering the overall context and semantics of_x000D_
text, linking extracted entities to a product taxonomy or database, and evaluate the accuracy of the overall_x000D_
model. Given the high cost to purchase vertical-specific catalogues, we explore clustering techniques to_x000D_
identify clusters of words that represent a named entity and link these mentions to enrich a product taxonomy_x000D_
for a class of vertical domains. The developed technology will enable VerticalScope to glean deeper insights_x000D_
on current product trends in forum post discussions, drive more timely decision making, and increase the value_x000D_
