22 Nov 2021  ·  Oleg Vasilyev, Aysu Altun, Nidhi Vyas, Vedant Dharnidharka, Erika Lam, John Bohannon ·

We present Namesakes, a dataset of ambiguously named entities obtained from English-language Wikipedia and news articles. It consists of 58862 mentions of 4148 unique entities and their namesakes: 1000 mentions from news, 28843 from Wikipedia articles about the entity, and 29019 Wikipedia backlink mentions. Namesakes should be helpful in establishing challenging benchmarks for the task of named entity linking (NEL).
