Coreference Annotation: Whither?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The terms coreference and anaphora tend to be used inconsistently and interchangeably in much empirically-oriented work in NLP, and this threatens to lead to incoherent analyses of texts and arbitrary loss of information. This paper discusses the role of coreference annotation in Information Extraction, focussing on the coreference scheme defined for the MUC-7 evaluation exercise. We point out deficiencies in that scheme and make some suggestions towards a new annotation philosophy.

متن کاملCoreference Annotation Scheme and Relation Types for Hindi
This paper describes a coreference annotation scheme, coreference annotation specific issues and their solutions through our proposed annotation scheme for Hindi. We introduce different co-reference relation types between continuous mentions of the same coreference chain such as ‘Part-of’, ‘Function-value pair’ etc. We used Jaccard similarity based Krippendorff‘s’ alpha to demonstrate consisten...
متن کاملA Pilot Study on Computer-aided Coreference Annotation
We present the results of a pilot study on increasing the efficiency of coreference annotation by integrating the predictions of existing coreference components. While similar approaches are already quite common for other linguistic annotation tasks, our experiments are the first to address a more complex task such as coreference annotation.
متن کاملWhat Is Coreference, And What Should Coreference Annotation Be?
In this paper, it is argued that 'coreference an-notation', as currently performed in the MUC community, goes well beyond annotation of the relation of coreference as it is commonly understood. As a result, it is not always clear what semantic relation these annotations are actually encoding. The paper discusses a number of interrelated problems with coreference annotation and concludes that re...
متن کاملVisualization for Coreference Annotation
The annotation of documents with linguistic information requires time-consuming and therefore expensive manual annotation. Especially, a complex task, like coreference resolution, needs large data sets for the training of supervised machine learning methods. We present a tool which combines visualization techniques and unsupervised machine learning to support the annotation of documents with co...
