Papers with Coreference Resolution
Social Norms Guide Reference Resolution (2022.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing tools for natural language resolution fail to handle ambiguous referents . ambiguity arises when the language is underspecified or there are multiple candidate referent. |
| Approach: | They investigate how pragmatic modulators outside of the linguistic content are critical for correct interpretation of referents in underspecified contexts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can be used to resolve referents in human environments. |

Juntao Yu, Silviu Paun, Maris Camilleri, Paloma Garcia, Jon Chamberlain, Udo Kruschwitz, Massimo Poesio
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to scale up anaphoric annotation have not overcome these limitations. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a game-with-a-purpose to ‘complete’ markable annotations by using an anaphoric resolver and an aggregation method for anaphorism. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method could be adopted to greatly speed up annotation time in other projects involving games-with-a-purpose. |
BASHI: A Corpus of Wall Street Journal Articles Annotated with Bridging Links (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Bridging resolution is an under-researched area of NLP where the lack of annotated training data makes the application of statistical models difficult. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a corpus resource for the anaphoric phenomenon of bridging to add briding anamorphs to other gold annotations created as part of the OntoNotes project. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus adds bridging anaphors and their antecedents to other gold annotations created as part of the OntoNotes project. |
Improving Automatic Quotation Attribution in Literary Novels (2023.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for quotation attribution in literary novels require varying levels of available information. |
| Approach: | They propose to train and evaluate models for character identification, coreference resolution, quotation identification and speaker attribution tasks using an annotated dataset. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model scores on speaker attribution task on the same scale as state-of-the-art models. |
PDFAnno: a Web-based Linguistic Annotation Tool for PDF Documents (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Currently, linguistic annotation tools for PDF documents focus on plain-text documents. |
| Approach: | They propose a web-based linguistic annotation tool for PDF documents . it offers functions for various types of linguistic annotations directly on PDF . |
| Outcome: | The proposed tool can annotate on PDF documents with named entity, dependency relation, and coreference chain. |
Bridging resolution: Task definition, corpus resources and rule-based experiments (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work on bridging resolution has been based on the corpus ISNotes, as this was the only corpus available with unrestricted bridling annotations. |
| Approach: | They propose a rule-based system to resolve bridging annotations in ISNotes corpus and apply it to new corpora. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system achieves state-of-the-art performance on ISNotes corpus, but low performance on in-domain corpora. |
