Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for mapping entities to social profile data. Social data regarding an entity (e.g., a notable entity, celebrity, movie, famous brand, etc.) is filtered from one or more open knowledge databases to produce filtered social data regarding the entity (or entities). The filtered social data is clustered and classified with respect to the entity according to a hash function to produce candidate results related to the entity. Ambiguous results are then filtered out from the candidate results, thereby automatically mapping facts contained in one or more of the open knowledge databases to a social profile associated with the entity.

Claims (54)

1. A method, comprising:

clustering social data associated with an entity, based on a hash function, to produce candidate results associated with the entity;

determining an ambiguity associated with a first result of the candidate results; and

filtering out the first result from the candidate results based on the ambiguity.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

filtering initial social data based on data associated with one or more social network accounts to produce the social data.

3. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

calculating the hash function based on an attribute.

4. The method of claim 1 , the clustering comprising:

clustering the entity based on the hash function.

5. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

mapping one or more facts from a knowledge database to one or more social profiles associated with the entity.

6. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

determining an ambiguity associated with a second result of the candidate results;

determining whether a verified entity is associated with the second result; and

selecting the verified entity in response to determining that the verified entity is associated with the second result.

7. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

classifying the social data utilizing a classifier that is trained to determine a difference between real social network data and fake social network data.

8. A system, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

clustering social data associated with an entity, based on a hash function, to produce candidate results associated with the entity;

determining an ambiguity associated with a first result of the candidate results; and

filtering out the first result from the candidate results based on the ambiguity.

9. The system of claim 8 , the operations comprising:

filtering initial social data based on data associated with one or more social network accounts to produce the social data.

10. The system of claim 8 , the operations comprising:

calculating the hash function based on an attribute.

11. The system of claim 8 , the clustering comprising:

clustering the entity based on the hash function.

12. The system of claim 8 , the operations comprising:

mapping one or more facts from a knowledge database to one or more social profiles associated with the entity.

13. The system of claim 8 , the operations comprising:

determining an ambiguity associated with a second result of the candidate results;

determining whether a verified entity is associated with the second result; and

selecting the verified entity in response to determining that the verified entity is associated with the second result.

14. The system of claim 8 , the operations comprising:

classifying the social data utilizing a classifier that is trained to determine a difference between real social network data and fake social network data.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

clustering social data associated with an entity, based on a hash function, to produce candidate results associated with the entity;

determining an ambiguity associated with a first result of the candidate results; and

filtering out the first result from the candidate results based on the ambiguity.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , the operations comprising:

filtering initial social data based on data associated with one or more social network accounts to produce the social data.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , the operations comprising:

mapping one or more facts from a knowledge database to one or more social profiles associated with the entity.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , the operations comprising:

classifying the social data utilizing a classifier that is trained to determine a difference between real social network data and fake social network data.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , the operations comprising:

calculating the hash function based on an attribute.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , the operations comprising:

determining an ambiguity associated with a second result of the candidate results;

determining whether a verified entity is associated with the second result; and

selecting the verified entity in response to determining that the verified entity is associated with the second result.
