Abstract
Using Twitter as an effective marketing tool has become a gold mine for companies interested in their online reputation. A quite significant research challenge related to the above issue is to disambiguate tweets with respect to company names. In fact, finding if a particular tweet is relevant or irrelevant to a company is an important task not satisfactorily solved yet; to address this issue in this paper we propose a Wikipedia-based two-pass algorithm. The experimental evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approachI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
