Hi Siwei,
We certainly appreciate seriousness and commitment. You can perhaps just
give more details to make it clear to us that each task is given the
appropriate amount of time.

With the vague expression "close the feedback loop" I was alluding to other
e-mails I have exchanged publicly in the list, a demo paper that we've
published [1], as well as fragments of text I've shared on the ideas page.
Sorry for assuming that such overly vague citation would be immediately
clear.

1. What's "feedback loop"? Do you mean that a user can submit

By that I mean that:
0) Training Set = Wikipedia
1) the system learns from training set how to automatically annotate text
2) given input text, the system automatically annotates text
3) the user fixes the annotations that were wrong
4) the system stores the feedback
5) Training Set = Wikipedia + User Feedback; Go to 1.

2. What's "linker learning"? Do you mean the links among the

I'm referring to the step 5 above. How to leverage feedback for enhancing
the annotations next time around? Should you train a classifier for
detecting wrong annotations? Which features would you use? Would it be
better to use some rule-based approach? How?

"Learning a linker" is a way to leverage feedback to filter out bad results
in the next iteration. To close a loop by learning a linker is to be able
to get better every time you loop back from step 5 back to step 1.

I hope this clears up things better.

Cheers,
Pablo
