An entity linking apparatus, comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• obtain text content including text characters and descriptive information that explains the text characters;
• obtain at least one candidate entity content corresponding to the text characters based on the descriptive information;
• perform content filling on first screening template content based on the text characters to generate second screening template content;
• generate merged text content based on the descriptive information, the at least one candidate entity content, and the second screening template content;
• and
• obtain target entity content corresponding to the text characters based on the merged text content.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform:

• obtaining text content including text characters and descriptive information that explains the text characters;
• obtaining at least one candidate entity content corresponding to the text characters based on the descriptive information;
• performing content filling on first screening template content based on the text characters to generate second screening template content;
• generating merged text content based on the descriptive information, the at least one candidate entity content, and the second screening template content;
