| Challenge: | Cross-referencing is a useful study aid for facilitating comprehension of a text, but it requires extensive thematic knowledge and a focused search through the corpus to find such useful connections. |
| Approach: | They propose a system for producing candidate cross-references which can be easily verified by human annotators. |
| Outcome: | a new system can produce cross-references that can be easily verified by human annotators . the system uses fine-grained topic modeling to identify verse pairs which are topically related . |

Focus on what matters: Applying Discourse Coherence Theory to Cross Document Coreference (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches simplify by considering coreference only within document clusters, but this fails to handle inter-cluster coreference, common in many applications. |
| Approach: | They propose to model entities/events in a reader’s focus as a neighborhood within a learned latent embedding space which minimizes the distance between mentions and the centroids of their gold coreference clusters. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art for events and entities on the ECB+, Gun Violence, Football Coreference, and Cross-Domain Cross-DDocument Coreference corpora. |
