Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Lexical diversity and event coreference resolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we examine the representativeness of the EventCorefBank (ECB) (Bejan and Harabagiu, 2010) with regards to the language population of large-volume streams of news. The ECB corpus is one of the data sets used for evaluation of the task of event coreference resolution. Our analysis shows that the ECB in most cases covers one seminal event per domain, what considerably simplifies event and so language diversity that one comes across in the news. We augmented the corpus with a new corpus component, consisting of 502 texts, describing different instances of event types that were already captured by the 43 topics of the ECB, making it more representative of news articles on the web. The new ”ECB+” corpus is available for further research.

Corpus based coreference resolution for Farsi text
"Coreference resolution" or "finding all expressions that refer to the same entity" in a text, is one of the important requirements in natural language processing. Two words are coreference when both refer to a single entity in the text or the real world. So the main task of coreference resolution systems is to identify terms that refer to a unique entity. A coreference resolution tool could be...

متن کاملChinese Event Coreference Resolution: An Unsupervised Probabilistic Model Rivaling Supervised Resolvers
Recent work has successfully leveraged the semantic information extracted from lexical knowledge bases such as WordNet and FrameNet to improve English event coreference resolvers. The lack of comparable resources in other languages, however, has made the design of high-performance non-English event coreference resolvers, particularly those employing unsupervised models, very difficult. We propo...
متن کاملMachine Learning Approaches to Coreference Resolution
This paper introduces three machine learning approaches to noun phrase coreference resolution. The first of them gives a view of coreference resolution as a clustering task. The second one applies a noun phrase coreference system based on decision tree induction and the last one experiments with using the Bell tree to represent the search space of the coreference resolution problem. The knowled...
متن کاملUnsupervised Event Coreference Resolution
The task of event coreference resolution plays a critical role in many natural language processing applications such as information extraction, question answering, and topic detection and tracking. In this article, we describe a new class of unsupervised, nonparametric Bayesian models with the purpose of probabilistically inferring coreference clusters of event mentions from a collection of unl...
