class NerDisambiguator extends AnnotatorApproach[NerDisambiguatorModel] with DisambiguatorModelParams

Links words of interest, such as names of persons, locations and companies, from an input text document to a corresponding unique entity in a target Knowledge Base (KB). Words of interest are called Named Entities (NEs), mentions, or surface forms. The model needs extracted CHUNKS and SENTENCE_EMBEDDINGS type input from e.g. SentenceEmbeddings and NerConverter.

Example

Extracting Person identities

First define pipeline stages that extract entities and embeddings. Entities are filtered for PER type entities.

val data = Seq("The show also had a contestant named Donald Trump who later defeated Christina Aguilera ...")
  .toDF("text")
val documentAssembler = new DocumentAssembler()
  .setInputCol("text")
  .setOutputCol("document")
val sentenceDetector = new SentenceDetector()
  .setInputCols("document")
  .setOutputCol("sentence")
val tokenizer = new Tokenizer()
  .setInputCols("sentence")
  .setOutputCol("token")
val word_embeddings = WordEmbeddingsModel.pretrained()
  .setInputCols("sentence", "token")
  .setOutputCol("embeddings")
val sentence_embeddings = new SentenceEmbeddings()
  .setInputCols("sentence","embeddings")
  .setOutputCol("sentence_embeddings")
val ner_model = NerDLModel.pretrained()
  .setInputCols("sentence", "token", "embeddings")
  .setOutputCol("ner")
val ner_converter = new NerConverter()
  .setInputCols("sentence", "token", "ner")
  .setOutputCol("ner_chunk")
  .setWhiteList("PER")

Then the extracted entities can be disambiguated.

 val disambiguator = new NerDisambiguator()
  .setS3KnowledgeBaseName("i-per")
  .setInputCols("ner_chunk", "sentence_embeddings")
  .setOutputCol("disambiguation")
  .setNumFirstChars(5)

val nlpPipeline = new Pipeline().setStages(Array(
  documentAssembler,
  sentenceDetector,
  tokenizer,
  word_embeddings,
  sentence_embeddings,
  ner_model,
  ner_converter,
  disambiguator))

val model = nlpPipeline.fit(data)
val result = model.transform(data)

Show results

result.selectExpr("explode(disambiguation)")
  .selectExpr("col.metadata.chunk as chunk", "col.result as result").show(5, false)
