Most existing entity linking models rely on sufficient context for disambiguation but do not work well for concise and sparse short texts. In addition, most of the methods use pre-training models to directly calculate the similarity between the entity text to be disambiguated and the candidate entity text, and do not dig deeper into the relationship between them. This article proposes an entity linking method for Chinese short texts based on Siamese-like networks to address the above shortcomings. In the entity disambiguation task, the features of the Siamese-like network are used to deeply parse the semantic relationships in the text and make full use of the feature information of the entity text to be disambiguated, capturing the interdependent features within the sentences through an attention mechanism, aiming to find out the most critical elements in the entity text description. The experimental demonstration on the CCKS2019 dataset shows that the F1 value of the method reaches 87.29%, increase of 11.02% compared to the F1 value(that) of the baseline method, fully validating the superiority of the model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info13080397","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,22]],"date-time":"2022-08-22T05:18:17Z","timestamp":1661145497000},"page":"397","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Entity Linking Method for Chinese Short Text Based on Siamese-Like Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0894-3973","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Shanghai University of Engineering Science, Shanghai 201620, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Shanghai University of Engineering Science, Shanghai 201620, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5476-620X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bo","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Shanghai University of Engineering Science, Shanghai 201620, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Shanghai University of Engineering Science, Shanghai 201620, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Wu, F., and Weld, D.S.
