What is the difference between named entity recognition and named entity resolution? Would appreciate a practical example.
Named entity recognition is picking up the names and classifying them in running text. E.g., given (1)
an NE recognizer will output
NE resolution or normalization means finding out which entity in the outside world a name refers to. E.g., in the above example, the output would be annotated with a unique identifier for the footballer John Terry, like his Wikipedia URL:
as opposed to, e.g.
or any of the other John Terry’s the Wikipedia knows.
