Multi-source annotation projection of coreference chains: assessing strategies and testing opportunities

Abstract: In this paper, we examine the possibility of using annotation projection from multiple sources for automatically obtaining coreference annotations in the target language. We implement a multi-source annotation projection algorithm and apply it on an English-German-Russian parallel corpus in order to transfer coreference chains from two sources to the target side. Operating in two settings -a low-resource and a more linguistically-informed onewe show that automatic coreference transfer could benefit from combin… Show more

“…In both languages, coreference information is obviously best preserved for central pronouns (ex-cept for basic reflexives). It agrees with findings by Grishina and Stede (2017), where they observed higher precision for pronouns than for nominal groups. They suggest that inferior performance for nominal groups may be a result of errors in mention matching.…”

“…by Postolache et al (2006) and Grishina and Stede (2017)). There are several factors affecting the score values, in which these experiments certainly differ: a target language, a range of expressions annotated with coreference, quality of alignment, evaluation measure, etc.…”

“…6 Furthermore, the choice of the source language(s) in respect to the target language is also an interesting factor that influences the projection re-5 Probably due to erroneous annotations on the source side, as the authors themselves acknowledge. 6 However, combining coreference annotations coming from several sources is not a trivial task, as shown in Grishina and Stede (2017). sults; however, this issue needs to be investigated further by comparing the quality of a projection approach for different languages in the same setting.…”

“…While crosslingual projection has demonstrated considerable success in various NLP applications like POS tagging and syntactic parsing, it has been less successful in coreference resolution, performing with 30% less precision than monolingual variants (Grishina and Stede 2017).…”
