Entity Linking without an alias match

[commahawk]

From what I can tell in the code, the get_candidates call for Entity Linking to the KB requires that the entity match an alias. It seems possible, and maybe desirable to surface candidates with either an alias OR a vector with low distance (or maybe a waterfall from alias to vector matches). Then you have something not unlike a RAG approach. Is that a good idea or should I be doing more to produce a smaller set or entities at the NER layer so I can have aliases for every entity?

Hi!

You can definitely overwrite the custom behaviour of the get_candidates funcationality. See also this thread for more details!
