- With the emerging focus of search engines on semantic search, there is a growing need to understand queries and documents not only syntactically, but semantically as well. Over the recent years, major search engines have redesigned their output to accommodate some semantic information about the entities recognized in queries and search results. Recent information retrieval studies published in SIGIR have also paid a significant amount of attention to entity-related research. However, techniques for accurate entity recognition and disambiguation are still far from perfect. The motivation of this workshop is to advance the state of the art in entity recognition and disambiguation for both long and short web documents.
