MELArt: Multimodal Entity Linking Evaluation Dataset for Art (Version 1.0)

This dataset encapsulates various entities unique to art, presenting a robust tool tailored to the creation of multi-modal art datasets. We also apply distinct metrics that assess ambiguity and diversity in the data, offering a thorough evaluation of our dataset. We introduce an automated process that facilitates the generation of art datasets, harnessing data from multiple sources (ArtPedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons) to ensure reliability and comprehensiveness. Furthermore, our paper provides extensive statistical data, delineates best practices for the integration of art datasets, and presents a detailed performance analysis of entity linking systems, when applied to domain-specific datasets.
