Current global inference approaches optimize a single coherence measure, most commonly a measure of general semantic relatedness such as the Milne-Witten distance (Milne and Witten, 2008), or keyphrase overlap relatedness (KORE) (Hoffart et al., 2012).
verification allows employing many global coherence features, which we categorize according to four aspects of coherence: geographical coherence and temporal coherence, which to our knowledge have not been used before in EL, as well as entity type coherence and the general semantic relatedness mentioned above.
