Cross-lingual entity resolution and its applications

Nowadays, entity resolution is being intensively investigated in the context of the integration of heterogeneous data sets. Collecting data from heterogeneous data sets and integrating them in a query able environment increases completeness and correctness as well as ensures a more effective analysis. Of special interest is the problem of cross-lingual entity resolution for multilingual data integration since local language data sources are often more complete and accurate than global data sources.
