Comunicació presentada a la 18th International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference (ISMIR 2017), celebrada els dies 23 a 27 d'octubre de 2017 a Suzhou, Xina.

In this work, we present MEL, the first Music Entity Linking system. MEL is able to identify mentions of musical entities (e.g., album, songs, and artists) in free text, and disambiguate them to a music knowledge base, i.e., MusicBrainz. MEL combines different state-of-the-art libraries and SimpleBrainz, an RDF knowledge base created from MusicBrainz after a simplification process. MEL is released as a REST API and as an online demo Web.

This work was partially funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness under the Maria de Maeztu Units of Excellence Programme (MDM-2015-0502).
