Zero-Shot Open Entity Typing as Type-Compatible Grounding, EMNLP'18.
A state of the art system for zero-shot entity fine typing with minimum supervision
This is a demo system for our paper "Zero-Shot Open Entity Typing as Type-Compatible Grounding", which at the time of publication represents the state-of-the-art of zero-shot entity typing.
The original experiments that produced all the results in the paper are done with a package written in Java. This is a re-written package solely for the purpose of demoing the algorithm and validating key results.
The results may be slightly different with published numbers, due to the randomness in Java's HashSet and Python set's iteration order. The difference should be negligible.
This system may take a long time if ran on a large number of new sentences, due to ELMo processing. We have cached ELMo results for the provided experiments.
The package also contains an online demo, please refer to Publication Page for more details.

Currently you can do the following without changes to the code:
python3 main.py figer
python3 main.py bbn
python3 main.py ontonotes
Additionally, you can run server mode that initializes the online demo with python3 server.py
However, this requires some additional files that's not provided for download yet.
Please directly contact the authors.
It's generally an expensive operation to run on large numerb of new sentences, but you are welcome to do it.
Please refer to main.py
and Engineering Details
to see how you can test on your own data.
