Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing systems can perform the first two tasks accurately, but attributing characters to direct speech is a challenging problem due to the narrator’s lack of explicit character mentions and the frequent use of nominal and pronominal coreference when such explicit mentions are made. |
| Approach: | They propose a pipeline to extract characters and link them to their direct-speech utterances by using a novel's list of characters and a list of attributing them to the speaking characters. |
| Outcome: | The proposed pipeline improves state-of-the-art models by 50% in F1-score compared with existing models . |
