A Probabilistic Model for Linking Named Entities in Web Text with Heterogeneous Information Networks

Summary: SHINE is the first probabilistic model to link web-text named entities to heterogeneous information networks. Entity popularity and an entity object model built from meta-path constrained random walks; meta-path weights learned by EM without training data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
