We designed and implemented Tagme, a system that is able to efficiently and judiciously augment a plain-text with pertinent hyperlinks to Wikipedia pages. The specialty of Tagme with respect to known systems [5, 8] is that it may annotate texts which are short and poorly composed, such as snippets of search-engine results, tweets, news, etc.. This annotation is extremely informative, so any task that is currently addressed using the bag-of-words paradigm could benefit from using this annotation to draw upon (the millions of) Wikipedia pages and their inter-relations.
The authors of REF propose TAGME, a system whose purpose is to annotate documents with hyperlinks to Wikipedia pages by identifying anchors in the text.
