Abstract
Compared
to the amount of research on English coreference resolution, relatively little
work has been done on Chinese coreference resolution. Worse still, it has been
difficult to determine the state of the art in Chinese coreference resolution,
owing in part to the lack of a standard evaluation dataset. The organizers of
the CoNLL-2012 shared task, Modeling Unrestricted Multilingual Coreference in
OntoNotes, have recently addressed this issue by providing standard training
and test sets for developing and evaluating Chinese coreference resolvers. We
aim to gain insights into the state of the art via extensive experimentation
with our Chinese resolver, which is ranked first in the shared task on the
Chinese test data.
Abstract in Chinese
与大量的英文共指消解研究相比，针对中文的共指研究相对较少。更糟糕的是，中文共指消解很难确定当前的研究现状，部分原因是缺少标准的评测集。CoNLL-2012共同任务（在OntoNotes上对无限制多语言共指消解的建模）的组织者解决了这个问题，他们提供了标准化的训练集和测试集供开发和评定中文共指消解系统。我们的系统在中文测试集的评测中排名第一。本文在原系统的基础上做了广泛的实验，以探究中文共指消解的研究现状。
