Abstract：A collaborative entity disambiguation method based on weighted feature overlap relatedness is proposed in this paper. This method make use of weighted feature overlap relatedness for computing the similarity between entity names. We define some deferent similarity formulas for computing entity similarity matrix, then the affinity propagation clustering algorithm is used to get the disambiguation results. Evaluation on the CLP-2012 corpus shows that our method can achieve competitive performance, attains 84.01% precision, 87.75% recall and 85.65% F-score.
