Bootleg: Chasing the Tail with Self-Supervised Named Entity Disambiguation
Summary: Bootleg: open-source, self-supervised NED using a simple transformer + hierarchical regularization to dramatically boost tail-entity disambiguation (up to +41.2 F1) and match/exceed SOTA on benchmarks. Calls out serving of entity embeddings and related data-management challenges. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
