We verified, partly by way of debugging, that there do exist entities e with small degree but a modest number of assigned snippets, for which snippet-to-N (e) matches angus mcdonald, chris robinson, christopher henry, elizabeth provide a boost to type prediction accuracy (about 50%), as compared to T0 (about 20% for these instances).
the flow of information between type and entity assignments is, in principle, bidirectional, in the regime of such entities.
