Lupedia Enrichment Service

As part of our efforts in the NoTube project, we created a Text Enrichment service called Lupedia.

  • The service uses Ontotext's LKB Gazetteer to lookup words against DBpedia and LinkedMDB (Linked Movie Database) entities
  • Supports multiple languages, such as English, Italian and French
  • Various output filters, weights and heuristics are provided to allow accurate matching.
  • Does lookup, but no named entity recognition

We recently completed an evaluation of Lupedia and compared it to two other similar services: AlchemyAPI and OpenCalais.

  • Lupedia has much better coverage (60% more than AlchemyAPI and 1560% more than OpenCalais)
  • Lupedia has comparable precision (9% worse than AlchemyAPI, 5% better than OpenCalais)

See evaluation description and detailed results (we focus mostly only on English, with Italian and French as supplementary languages).
