Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying central entities. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining candidate entities for a first resource; filtering a first entity graph whose nodes represent different entities found in a plurality of resources to remove nodes that do not correspond to a candidate entity, wherein pairs of nodes in the filtered first entity graph that are connected by an edge correspond to pairs of candidate entities that are associated with the same resource; generating a second entity graph for the first resource from the filtered first entity graph, wherein the second entity graph does not include nodes from the filtered first entity graph that are not connected to other nodes in the filtered first graph; and identifying candidate entities that are represented by nodes in the second entity graph as being central entities for the first resource.
