title: Tough Tables: Carefully Evaluating Entity Linking for Tabular Data

description: Tough Tables (2T) is a dataset designed to evaluate table annotation approaches in solving the CEA and CTA tasks.<br> The dataset is compliant with the data format used in SemTab 2019, and it can be used as an additional dataset without any modification. The target knowledge graph is DBpedia 2016-10.<br> Check out the 2T GitHub repository for more details about the dataset generation. New in v2.0: We release the updated version of 2T_WD! The target knowledge graph is Wikidata (online instance) and the dataset complies with the SemTab 2021 data format. This work is based on the following paper: Cutrona, V., Bianchi, F., Jimenez-Ruiz, E. and Palmonari, M. (2020). Tough Tables: Carefully Evaluating Entity Linking for Tabular Data. ISWC 2020, LNCS 12507, pp. 1–16. Note on License: This dataset includes data from the following sources.

Updated ancestor/descendant hierarchies to evaluate CTA. <em><strong>v1.0</strong></em> New Wikidata version (2T_WD) Fix header for tables CTRL_DBP_MUS_rock_bands_labels.csv and CTRL_DBP_MUS_rock_bands_labels_NOISE2.csv (column 2 was reported with id 1 in target - NOTE: the affected column has been removed from the SemTab2020 evaluation) Remove duplicated entries in tables Remove rows with wrong values (e.g., the Kazakhstan entity has an empty name "''") Many rows and noised columns are shuffled/changed due to the random noise generator algorithm Remove row "Florida","Floorida","New York, NY" from TOUGH_WEB_MISSP_1000_us_cities.csv (and all its NOISE1 variants) Fix header of tables: CTRL_WIKI_POL_List_of_current_monarchs_of_sovereign_states.csv CTRL_WIKI_POL_List_of_current_monarchs_of_sovereign_states_NOISE2.csv TOUGH_T2D_BUS_29414811_2_4773219892816395776___videogames_developers.csv TOUGH_T2D_BUS_29414811_2_4773219892816395776___videogames_developers_NOISE2.csv <em><strong>v0.1-pre</strong></em> First submission. It contains only tables, without GT and Targets.
description: GT and Target files have different formats in 2T and 2T_WD (CEA). 2T complies with the SemTab2019 CEA format (tab_id, col_id, row_id, entity), while 2T_WD follows the SemTab2020 CEA format (tab_id, row_id, col_id, entity).
