Beyond Word Boundaries: A Hebrew Coreference Benchmark and an Evaluation Protocol for Morphologically Complex Text (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | CR methods originally designed for English struggle with Morphologically Rich Languages (MRLs) a single token in Hebrew may consist of multiple anaphors, and word/morpheme boundary discrepancies make mention detection and coreference resolution difficult in MRLs. |
| Approach: | They propose a CR dataset that identifies mentions at word, sub-word and multi-word levels and an evaluation protocol that directly addresses word/morpheme boundary discrepancies. |
| Outcome: | The proposed evaluation protocol directly addresses word/morpheme boundary discrepancies in Modern Hebrew, an MRL rich with complex words and pronominal clitics. |
