NEL

NEL, or Named Entity Linking, is a process in natural language processing that identifies specific names or terms in text—like people, places, or organizations—and connects them to their unique entries in a database or knowledge base. For example, if a sentence mentions "Apple," NEL helps determine whether it's referring to the company or the fruit, and links it accordingly. This enables better understanding and organization of information, making it easier for computers to interpret, search, and analyze text accurately. Essentially, NEL clarifies which real-world entities are being referenced in written content.
