Abstract
In this paper, we describe a system that jointly extracts

entities appearing in images and mentioned in their ac-

companying captions. As input, the entity linking pro-

gram takes a segmented image together with its cap-

tion. It consists of a sequence of processing steps: part-

of-speech tagging, dependency parsing, and coreference

resolution that enables us to identify the entities as well

as possible textual relations from the captions. The pro-

gram uses the image regions labelled with a set of pre-

defined categories and computes WordNet similarities

between these labels and the entity names. Finally, the

program links the entities it... (More)

and Annotated IAPR TC-12 dataset that we enriched

with entity annotations and we obtained a correct as-

signment rate of 55.48% (Less)
