BART: A multilingual anaphora resolution system

Published:15 July 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

BART (Versley et al., 2008) is a highly modular toolkit for coreference resolution that supports state-of-the-art statistical approaches and enables efficient feature engineering. For the SemEval task 1 on Coreference Resolution, BART runs have been submitted for German, English, and Italian.

BART relies on a maximum entropy-based classifier for pairs of mentions. A novel entity-mention approach based on Semantic Trees is at the moment only supported for English.
