WHAT IS AN ENTITY?
• An en#ty is an "object" or "thing" in the real world that can be dis'nctly iden'fied and is characterized by the following proper#es:
• unique iden#fier(s) • name(s) • type(s) • aKributes (or descrip#on) • (typed) rela#onships to other en##es

• How to rank en##es that have no direct representa#ons?
• Idea: Look at co-occurrences of en##es and query terms in documents

PROFILE-BASED METHODS
• Build a direct term-based en#ty representa#on based on associated language usage
• "You shall know a word by the company it keeps." [Firth, 1957]
• Use document retrieval techniques for ranking en#ty profile documents

WHAT HAVE WE BEEN DOING?
• Core focus has been on retrieval models, and more specifically on en'ty representa'ons
• In terms of associated language usage, descrip#on, types, aKributes
• Richer query representa#ons (i.e., query annota#ons) were taken for granted

• Cri#cal to be able to verify the validity of data • Supply provenance informa#on for each statement
• Validity check (s#ll) needs to be performed by a human
• Can we help human editors to maintain and expand knowledge bases?

SUMMARY
• Automa#cally annota#ng queries with en##es can significantly improve retrieval performance
• Open research problem: • How should a query be answered (list, fact, table, etc.)?

ENTITY SUMMARIES
• Summaries serve a dual purpose • Synopsis of the en#ty • Provide evidence why the en#ty is a good answer
for the given query
• How to generate dynamic en'ty summaries that can directly address users’ informa'on needs?
• Two subtasks • Fact ranking — What should be in the summary? • Summary genera#on — How should it be presented?

ZERO-QUERY SEARCH
• Proac8ve instead of reac8ve search • "An#cipate user needs and respond with
informa#on appropriate to the current context without the user having to enter a query" — (Allan et al., SIGIR Forum 2012)
• Using a person's check-in ac3vity as context, can we an3cipate her informa3on needs, and respond with a set of informa3on cards that directly address those needs?

I see you're was'ng 'me away on Facebook. Do you have 'me now to talk about your holiday plans?Sure. I want an ac've holiday with
the family in beau'ful nature.
It sounds like you would definitely love Norway. A cabin in the mountains maybe?
Could be. But I want to go kayaking and also catch some fish. And not too much rain, please.
And something fun for the kids nearby, I suppose?
Of course.
How does Oltedal sound? People have been quite successful with catching lake trout based on what I found on Instagram.
There is also a theme park and horse riding, both within 50kms.

And what about the weather? You know we’re talking about Norway, right…? Anyway, based on sta's'cs from the past 30 years, this is one of the areas with the least amount of rain if you go in August.
I see. What about accommoda'on?
Here is a list of places that I think you might like.
Any opinions on this one?
According to the reviews that I can find on the web, the cabins are well equipped, the staff is nice and they even allow guests to borrow their kayaks.

OK. Let’s find a date that works for everyone. According to your wife's calendar, her
parents will be visi'ng you in the first week of August. School starts for the kids on the week of Aug 22. So there is a two week window between Aug 8 and 21, assuming that I can cancel the regular weekly mee'ngs with your PhD students.
That's fine. The students won't mind. Write them an email to upload their holiday plans to the group wiki, and add summer planning to the next group mee'ng's agenda.
Guys,
What are your plans for the summer?Please upload your away times to the group wiki.

In the mean'me, I called the cabin to check availability. Their online booking system is down at the moment. They s'll have some cabins available. Do you want to see them?
No, I had enough of this for today. Mail the pictures to my wife with some kind words.
Anything else I can do for you?Order a water filter for my espresso machine. I just found out that it'll need to be replaced soon.
Darling, You will love the place I found for us for a vacation in August. It is by the water; at night we will hear the waves. We will be able to take our morning breakfasts on the balcony, which ...
