• Abstract summary: We propose an appealing, and often more applicable, complementary set up for the task - Cross-document Coreference Search. To support research on this task, we create a corresponding dataset, which is derived from Wikipedia. We present a novel model that integrates a powerful coreference scoring scheme into the DPR architecture, yielding improved performance.

• Abstract: The task of Cross-document Coreference Resolution has been traditionally formulated as requiring to identify all coreference links across a given set of documents. We propose an appealing, and often more applicable, complementary set up for the task - Cross-document Coreference Search, focusing in this paper on event coreference. Concretely, given a mention in context of an event of interest, considered as a query, the task is to find all coreferring mentions for the query event in a large document collection. To support research on this task, we create a corresponding dataset, which is derived from Wikipedia while leveraging annotations in the available Wikipedia Event Coreference dataset (WEC-Eng). Observing that the coreference search setup is largely analogous to the setting of Open Domain Question Answering, we adapt the prominent Deep Passage Retrieval (DPR) model to our setting, as an appealing baseline. Finally, we present a novel model that integrates a powerful coreference scoring scheme into the DPR architecture, yielding improved performance.

• 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.

  We propose Event GDR, an event-centric generative document retrieval model. We employ events and relations to model the document to guarantee the comprehensiveness and inner-content correlation. For identifier construction, we map the events to well-defined event taxonomy to construct the identifiers with explicit semantic structure.

  We pre-training a generic multi-document model from a novel cross-document question answering pre-training objective. This novel multi-document QA formulation directs the model to better recover cross-text informational relations. Unlike prior multi-document models that focus on either classification or summarization tasks, our pre-training objective formulation enables the model to perform tasks that involve both short text generation and long text generation.

  We propose a novel Query-to-Intent-Description (Q2ID) task for query understanding. Unlike existing ranking tasks which leverage the query and its description to compute the relevance of documents, Q2ID is a reverse task which aims to generate a natural language intent description. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our model by comparing with several state-of-the-art generation models on the Q2ID task.
