Towards Harnessing Memory Networks for Coreference Resolution

Joe Cheri, Pushpak Bhattacharyya · 2017

Coreference resolution task demands comprehending a discourse, especially for anaphoric mentions which require semantic information for resolving antecedents.We investigate into how memory networks can be helpful for coreference resolution when posed as question answering problem.The comprehension capability of memory networks assists coreference resolution, particularly for the mentions those require semantic and context information.We experiment memory networks for coreference resolution, with 4 synthetic datasets generated for coreference resolution with varying difficulty levels.Our system's performance is compared with a traditional coreference resolution system to show why memory networks can be promising for coreference resolution.
