Abstract:
A method for determining an object referenced within a set of one or more informal online communications comprises: generating a knowledge graph for a company based at least on formal online communications, the knowledge graph comprising a plurality of node elements, and the knowledge graph further comprising, for each node element of the knowledge graph, a corresponding halo comprising one or more words which are temporally proximate to that node element within the formal online communications; for each node element of the knowledge graph which is determined to be present in a given informal online communication, detecting a halo comprising one or more words which are temporally proximate to that node element within the given informal online communication; and identifying which of the plurality of node elements has a corresponding halo within the knowledge graph most similar to the detected halo, wherein the identified node element is the referenced object.
