ITRI-00-06 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.

The paper discusses a number of problems with these annotations and concludes that rethinking of the coreference task is needed before...

This paper concerns novel problems that arise when this methodology is extended to deal with certain familiar and supposedly well-understood semantic ...
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...
