• Authors: Haixia Chai and Michael Strube
• Abstract summary: We study coreference by examining the ground truth data at different linguistic levels. We perform an error analysis of the most challenging cases that the SotA system fails to resolve. We extract features from universal morphosyntactic annotations and integrate these features into a baseline system to assess their potential benefits.

• Abstract: Multilingual coreference resolution (MCR) has been a long-standing and challenging task. With the newly proposed multilingual coreference dataset, CorefUD (Nedoluzhko et al., 2022), we conduct an investigation into the task by using its harmonized universal morphosyntactic and coreference annotations. First, we study coreference by examining the ground truth data at different linguistic levels, namely mention, entity and document levels, and across different genres, to gain insights into the characteristics of coreference across multiple languages. Second, we perform an error analysis of the most challenging cases that the SotA system fails to resolve in the CRAC 2022 shared task using the universal annotations. Last, based on this analysis, we extract features from universal morphosyntactic annotations and integrate these features into a baseline system to assess their potential benefits for the MCR task. Our results show that our best configuration of features improves the baseline by 0.9% F1 score.

  Cross-lingual semantic textual relatedness task is an important research task that addresses challenges in cross-lingual communication and text understanding. It helps establish semantic connections between different languages, crucial for downstream tasks like machine translation, multilingual information retrieval, and cross-lingual text understanding. With our approach, we achieve a 2nd score in Spanish, a 3rd in Indonesian, and multiple entries in the top ten results in the competition's track C.

  The MultiCoNER RNum2 shared task aims to tackle multilingual named entity recognition (NER) in fine-grained and noisy scenarios. Previous top systems in the MultiCoNER RNum1 either incorporate the knowledge bases or gazetteers. We propose a unified retrieval-augmented system (U-RaNER) for fine-grained multilingual NER.

  Pre-trained language models (LMs) have shown great potential for cross-lingual transfer in low-resource settings. We show the few-shot cross-lingual transfer property of LMs for named recognition (NER) and apply it to solve a low-resource and real-world challenge of code-mixed (Spanish-Catalan) clinical notes de-identification in the stroke.

  We study the suitability of state-of-the-art multilingual encoders for cross-lingual document and sentence retrieval tasks. We benchmark their performance in unsupervised ad-hoc sentence- and document-level CLIR experiments. We evaluate multilingual encoders fine-tuned in a supervised fashion (i.e., we learn to rank) on English relevance data in a series of zero-shot language and domain transfer CLIR experiments.

  We present a systematic empirical study focused on the suitability of the state-of-the-art multilingual encoders for cross-lingual document and sentence retrieval tasks. For sentence-level CLIR, we demonstrate that state-of-the-art performance can be achieved. However, the peak performance is not met using the general-purpose multilingual text encoders off-the-shelf', but rather relying on their variants that have been further specialized for sentence understanding tasks.
