Reference production in human-computer interaction: Issues for Corpus-based Referring Expression Generation (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Referring Expression Generation studies often use web-based data collection tasks without a particular addressee in mind. |
| Approach: | They developed a parallel corpus of monologue and dialogue referring expressions and an annotated corpus to compare instances produced in both modes of communication. |
| Outcome: | The results suggest that human reference production may be affected by the presence of a second (specific) human participant as the receiver of the communication in a number of ways. |
They Exist! Introducing Plural Mentions to Coreference Resolution and Entity Linking (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Unlike singular mentions each of which represents one entity, plural mentions stand for multiple entities. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel coreference resolution algorithm that selectively creates clusters to handle both singular and plural mentions and a deep learning-based entity linking model that jointly handles both types of mentions through multi-task learning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models designed for singular mentions and plural mentions. |
Towards Consistent Document-level Entity Linking: Joint Models for Entity Linking and Coreference Resolution (2022.acl-short)
