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)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to solve entity linking (EL) jointly with coreference resolution (coref) a coreferenced cluster can only be linked to a single entity or NIL (i.e., a nonlinkable entity) |
| Approach: | They propose to join entity linking and coreference resolution in a single structured prediction task over directed trees and use a globally normalized model to solve it. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves on two datasets with a +5% boost in accuracy compared to standalone models . the proposed model is based on current models that predict a single antecedent for each span to resolve . |
Joint Coreference Resolution and Character Linking for Multiparty Conversation (2021.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Character linking is the task of linking mentioned people in conversations to the real world . human use of pronouns or normal entities makes it difficult to link mentioned people to real people . a critical step towards understanding conversations is grounding mentioned people - a goal of the natural language processing community . |
| Approach: | They propose to integrate richer context from the coreference relations among different mentions to help the linking task. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms all previous models on both tasks. |
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. |
Major Entity Identification: A Generalizable Alternative to Coreference Resolution (2024.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Prior work identified annotation differences as one of the main reasons for the limited generalization gap in coreference resolution models. |
| Approach: | They propose an alternative referential task where the target entities are assumed to be specified in the input and the task is limited to the frequent entities. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model generalizes well across domains on multiple datasets with supervised models and LLM-based few-shot prompting. |
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. |
Revisiting Joint Modeling of Cross-document Entity and Event Coreference Resolution (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recognizing that various textual spans across multiple texts refer to the same entity or event is an important NLP task. |
| Approach: | They propose a neural architecture for cross-document coreference resolution by representing an event mention using its lexical span, surrounding context, and relation to other mentions via predicate-arguments structures. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art event coreference model on ECB+ while providing the first entity coreference results on this corpus. |
