AIDA: An Online Tool for Accurate Disambiguation of Named Entities in Text and Tables

Summary: AIDA is an online framework for accurate disambiguation of named entities in text and web tables, using collective disambiguation over prominence, context, and cross-mention coherence to map mentions to KB entities (DBpedia/Freebase/YAGO). Web interface accepts varied inputs and reveals intermediate disambiguation steps. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
