NameRuleAdvantagesDisadvantages

Entity attributes-basedComputing the similarity between the attributesSimple realization and the high accuracy rate when the medical attribute is richWith poor antinoise ability, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed when the entity attribute is sparse.

Entity popularity-basedBased on probability statistics and the frequency in the medical encyclopediaReliable and simple heuristic rulesPoor robustness and the ambiguity of specific entities are not considered.

Context-basedBased on the similarity between the entity contextsHigh accuracy when the text is long enough and relatively cleanWith less flexibility, the accuracy rate cannot be guaranteed when the text is sparse.

External evidence-basedBased on the semantic correlationIntroduced strong expansibility of rich feature informationMethod effectiveness depends on the quality of external evidence.
