As shown in Figure 1, we construct a wordcharacter lattice by matching a sentence with a large automatically-obtained lexicon.
word sequences such as "长江大桥 (Yangtze River Bridge)", "长江 (Yangtze River)" and "大 桥 (Bridge)" can be used to disambiguate potential relevant named entities in a context, such as the person name "江大桥 (Daqiao Jiang)".
