Free the Plural: Unrestricted Split-Antecedent Anaphora Resolution (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a limitation of coreference resolution models is the focus on single-antecedent anaphors. |
| Approach: | They propose a model for unrestricted resolution of split-antecedent anaphors with multiple antecedents . they use auxiliary corpora where split-antcedent ananaphor was annotated by crowd . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model significantly improves on a baseline enhanced by BERT embeddings on anaphoric reference corpus. |

| Challenge: | Universal Anaphora initiative aims to push forward the state of the art in anaphora and anaphorism resolution by expanding the aspects of anaphonic interpretation which are or can be reliably annotated in an anagraphic corpora. |
| Approach: | They propose to develop a standard for anaphoric annotations and a method for evaluating models that can carry out this type of interpretation. |
| Outcome: | The Universal Anaphora initiative aims to push forward the state of the art in anaphora and anaphorism resolution by producing unified standards to annotate and encode annotations, delivering datasets encoded according to these standards, and developing methods for evaluating models that carry out this type of interpretation. |
A Gold Anaphora Annotation Layer on an Eye Movement Corpus (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Anaphora resolution is a complex process in which multiple linguistic factors play a role. |
| Approach: | They used annotated anaphorical pronouns from newspaper articles read by humans to model reading time of pronounes. |
| Outcome: | The proposed resource allows to study human anaphora resolution on natural data. |
Bridging Resolution: A Survey of the State of the Art (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | bridging resolution is an anaphora resolution task that is less studied than entity coreference resolution. |
| Approach: | This paper presents a survey of the current state of research on bridging resolution . it identifies and resolves bridling/associative anaphors, which are anamorphic references to non-identical associated antecedents. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task is more difficult than entity coreference resolution because of the lack of annotated corpora and lack of standardized evaluation protocols. |
A Cluster Ranking Model for Full Anaphora Resolution (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Anaphora resolution systems designed for CONLL 2012 dataset can handle key aspects of the full anaphora task such as the identification of singletons and of certain types of non-referring expressions. |
| Approach: | They propose an architecture to identify non-referring expressions and build coreference chains, including singletons, using system mentions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs better on the CONLL 2012 dataset than the state-of-the-art system. |
The KnowRef Coreference Corpus: Removing Gender and Number Cues for Difficult Pronominal Anaphora Resolution (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for coreference resolution exploit the number and gender of antecedents or have been handcrafted and do not reflect the diversity of naturally occurring text. |
| Approach: | They propose a trick to improve resolution by antecedent switching to target common-sense understanding and world knowledge. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves state-of-the-art results on the GAP coreference task. |
Active Learning for Coreference Resolution using Discrete Annotation (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Exhaustively annotating coreference is expensive as it requires tracking coreference chains across long passages of text. |
| Approach: | They propose a pairwise annotation technique which asks annotators to identify mention antecedents if a presented mention pair is not coreferent. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is much more efficient when combined with a mention clustering algorithm for selecting which examples to label . future work can use the proposed protocol to develop coreference models for new domains. |

| Challenge: | Existing word representations do not capture semantic similarity for bridging anaphora resolution. |
| Approach: | They propose to use word embeddings to capture semantic similarity by exploring syntactic structure of noun phrases. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves 30% of accuracy for bridging anaphora resolution on ISNotes corpus. |

| Challenge: | Existing approaches to scale up anaphoric annotation have not overcome these limitations. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a game-with-a-purpose to ‘complete’ markable annotations by using an anaphoric resolver and an aggregation method for anaphorism. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method could be adopted to greatly speed up annotation time in other projects involving games-with-a-purpose. |
