Abstract | To address semantic ambiguities in coreferenceresolution, we use Web n-gram featuresthat capture a range of world knowledge in adiffuse but robust way. Specifically, we exploitshort-distance cues to hypernymy, semanticcompatibility, and semantic context, aswell as general lexical co-occurrence. Whenadded to a state-of-the-art coreference baseline,ourWeb features give significant gains onmultiple datasets (ACE 2004 and ACE 2005)and metrics (MUC and B3), resulting in thebest results reported to date for the end-to-endtask of coreference resolution. |
