how to update the BLINK knowledge base ?

[melissaya]

when "mention" is "COVID-19", blink can not link to the right wiki title because the BLINK knowledge base (entity library) is based on the 2019/08/01 Wikipedia dump.

@melissaya Thanks for raising the issue. We will update with instruction on how to update/create new knowledge base entity vectors.

Hi all,

You can refer to my reply here https://github.com/facebookresearch/BLINK/issues/106#issuecomment-1014507351 with regards to how to generate embeddings for new entities without necessarily re-training BLINK model on latest Wikipedia data.

Thanks!
