• Title: Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Diversity in Cross-document Coreference Resolution Datasets
• Authors: Anastasia Zhukova, Felix Hamborg, and Bela Gipp
• Abstract summary: Cross-document coreference resolution (CDCR) datasets contain manually annotated event-centric mentions of events and entities that form coreference chains with identity relations. ECB+ is a state-of-the-art CDCR dataset that focuses on the resolution of events and their descriptive attributes. NewsWCL50 is a dataset that annotates coreference chains of both events and entities with a strong variance of word choice.

• Abstract: Cross-document coreference resolution (CDCR) datasets, such as ECB+, contain manually annotated event-centric mentions of events and entities that form coreference chains with identity relations. ECB+ is a state-of-the-art CDCR dataset that focuses on the resolution of events and their descriptive attributes, i.e., actors, location, and date-time. NewsWCL50 is a dataset that annotates coreference chains of both events and entities with a strong variance of word choice and more loosely-related coreference anaphora, e.g., bridging or near-identity relations. In this paper, we qualitatively and quantitatively compare annotation schemes of ECB+ and NewsWCL50 with multiple criteria. We propose a phrasing diversity metric (PD) that compares lexical diversity within coreference chains on a more detailed level than previously proposed metric, e.g., a number of unique lemmas. We discuss the different tasks that both CDCR datasets create, i.e., lexical disambiguation and lexical diversity challenges, and propose a direction for further CDCR evaluation.

• Enhancing Cross-Document Event Coreference Resolution by Discourse Structure and Semantic Information [33.21818213257603]
  Cross-document event coreference resolution models can only compute mention similarity directly or enhance mention representation by extracting event arguments. We propose the construction of document-level Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) trees and cross-document Lexical Chains to model the structural and semantic information of documents. We have developed a large-scale Chinese cross-document event coreference dataset to fill this gap.

  Event coreference resolution (ECR) is the task of determining whether distinct mentions of events are actually linked to the same underlying occurrence. Here, we propose a multimodal cross-document event coreference resolution method that integrates visual and textual cues with a simple linear map between vision and language models. Our results demonstrate the utility of multimodal information in ECR for certain challenging coreference problems.

  Cross-lingual named entity recognition (CrossNER) faces challenges stemming from uneven performance due to the scarcity of multilingual corpora. We propose Multi-view Contrastive Learning for Cross-lingual Named Entity Recognition (mCL-NER) Our experiments on the XTREME benchmark, spanning 40 languages, demonstrate the superiority of mCL-NER over prior data-driven and model-based approaches.

  We propose a combination of an effective filtering strategy and fusion of the retrieved documents based on the generation probability of each context. Our lexical matching based approach achieves a similar top-5/top-20 retrieval accuracy and higher top-100 accuracy compared with the well-established dense retrieval model DPR. For end-to-end QA, the reader model also benefits from our method and achieves the highest Exact-Match score against several competitive baselines.

  This paper proposes an information-d contrastive learning framework for learning unsupervised sentence embeddings, termed InfoCSE. We evaluate the proposed InfoCSE on several benchmark datasets w.r.t the semantic text similarity (STS) task. Experimental results show that InfoCSE outperforms SimCSE by an average Spearman correlation of 2.60% on BERT-base, and 1.77% on BERT-large.

  Cross-document coreference resolution is important for the growing interest in multi-document analysis tasks. We propose a new model that extends the efficient sequential prediction paradigm for coreference resolution to cross-document settings. Our model incrementally composes mentions into cluster representations and predicts links between a mention and the already constructed clusters.

• Generalizing Cross-Document Event Coreference Resolution Across Multiple Corpora [63.429307282665704]
  Cross-document event coreference resolution (CDCR) is an NLP task in which mentions of events need to be identified and clustered throughout a collection of documents. CDCR aims to benefit downstream multi-document applications, but improvements from applying CDCR have not been shown yet. We make the observation that every CDCR system to date was developed, trained, and tested only on a single respective corpus.
