Supervised Coreference Resolution Algorithm

An Supervised Coreference Resolution Algorithm is a Data-Driven Coreference Resolution Algorithm that applies a Supervised Learning algorithm).

• Context:
  • It can be applied by a Supervised Coreference Resolution System (to solve a Supervised Coreference Resolution Task).
• Example(s):
  • a Supervised Record Coreference Resolution algorithm).
  • a Supervised Entity Mention Coreference Resolution algorithm).
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • an Unsupervised Coreference Resolution algorithm).
• See: Coreference Resolution algorithm, Coreference Resolution System, Supervised Machine Learning System, Clustering Task, Entity Mention Normalization System, Natural Language Processing System, Information Extraction System.

  • QUOTE: In the mid-1990s, methods for performing supervised coreference resolution sprang up. The widespread availability of the MUC and ACE corpora further shaped the research community to move towards statistical approaches. Complete heuristics-based systems gradually saw a decline of interest in the community, although isolated rules are still employed to encode hard linguistic constraints. Two types of machine learning methods emerged—a two-step binary classification followed by clustering and a ranking approach. The key distinction between them is that the binary classification approach makes coreference decisions on the antecedent candidates independently of each other, while the ranking approach takes into account other antecedent candidates.
