Abstract:
1. A method for disambiguating entity names for objects, comprising using a computing device to perform steps for: receiving one or more sets of objects; extracting one or more features from each objects; using the extracted features for training a global support vector machine (SVM) model that clusters all of the objects into a global data set comprising two types of maximum recognition units (MRUs) including “verified MRUs” and “unverified MRUs”, and wherein only the verified MRUs have accurately known entities associated with those objects; identifying features of each MRU as the union of the corresponding features of all of the individual objects comprising each MRU; iteratively training a separate local model for each different entity from the global data set and the corresponding features of each MRU using an “interactive SVM” modeling process that includes:
