Zero-shot Entity Linking with Efficient Long Range Sequence Modeling
share
This paper considers the problem of zero-shot entity linking, in which a link in the test time may not present in training. Following the prevailing BERT-based research efforts, we find a simple yet effective way is to expand the long-range sequence modeling. Unlike many previous methods, our method does not require expensive pre-training of BERT with long position embedding. Instead, we propose an efficient position embeddings initialization method called Embedding-repeat, which initializes larger position embeddings based on BERT-Base. On Wikia's zero-shot EL dataset, our method improves the SOTA from 76.06 74.57 sequence modeling without retraining the BERT model.
