Scalable Ad-hoc Entity Extraction from Text Collections
Summary: Introduces ad-hoc entity extraction where target entities come from a task-specific list, avoiding full-document processing. Proposes an inverted-index-driven pruning approach that identifies and processes only task-relevant documents, with empirical gains on real data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
