Abstract

Entity Set Expansion (ESE) is a problem that underlies several important tasks, such as entity recommendation, query expansion, synonymy finding etc. Traditional strategies relied on corpus-based methods to recognize the intended category of the input words. But with the growing importance and visibility of knowledge graphs, new methods based on explicit knowledge representation have been put forward to solve the ESE problem. In this paper, we review the existing knowledge-based methods for entity set expansion and introduce a new online tool called Set Expander that uses semantic technologies and knowledge bases to solve the ESE problem efficiently. We present the algorithms and implemented techniques that ensure responsiveness and effectiveness of the tool. We analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed solution and envision the future research directions.
