Techniques for entity detection include matching a token from at least a portion of a text string with a matching concept in an ontology, wherein the at least a portion of the text string has been labeled as corresponding to a particular entity type. A first concept may be identified as being hierarchically related to the matching concept within the ontology, and a second concept may be identified as being hierarchically related to the first concept within the ontology. Based at least in part on the labeling of the at least a portion of the text string as corresponding to the particular entity type, a statistical model may be trained to associate the first concept with a first probability of corresponding to the particular entity type and the second concept with a second probability of corresponding to the particular entity type.
