Distributed entity re-resolution based on streaming updates

Abstract

Mechanisms are provided for dynamic re-resolution of entities in a knowledge graph (KG) based on streaming updates. The KG and corresponding initial clusters associated with first entities are received along with a dynamic data stream having second documents referencing second entities. Clustering on the second documents based on the set of initial clusters, and document features of the second documents, is performed to provide a set of second document clusters. For second document clusters that should be modified based on entities associated with the second document cluster, a cluster modification operation is performed. Updated clusters are generated based on the clustering and modification of clusters. Entity re-resolution is dynamically performed on the entities in the KG based on the second entities associated with the updated clusters to generate an updated knowledge graph data structure.
