Revisiting Selectional Preferences for Coreference Resolution
Benjamin Heinzerling, Nafise Sadat Moosavi, Michael Strube · 2017
Selectional preferences have long been claimed to be essential for coreference resolution.However, they are mainly modeled only implicitly by current coreference resolvers.We propose a dependencybased embedding model of selectional preferences which allows fine-grained compatibility judgments with high coverage.We show that the incorporation of our model improves coreference resolution performance on the CoNLL dataset, matching the state-of-the-art results of a more complex system.However, it comes with a cost that makes it debatable how worthwhile such improvements are.
