Graph-based event coreference resolution
Zheng Chen, Heng Ji · 2009
In this paper, we address the problem of event coreference resolution as specified in the Automatic Content Extraction (ACE) program. In contrast to entity coreference resolution, event coreference resolution has not received great attention from researchers. In this paper, we first demonstrate the diverse scenarios of event coreference by an example. We then model event coreference resolution as a spectral graph clustering problem and evaluate the clustering algorithm on ground truth event mentions using ECM F-Measure. We obtain the ECM-F scores of 0.8363 and 0.8312 respectively by using two methods for computing coreference matrices.
