Leveraging Structural Discourse Information for Event Coreference Resolution in Dutch
Loic De Langhe, Orphée De Clercq, Véronique Hoste · 2023
Structural information is known to be important in resolving coreferential relations.We directly embed discourse structure information (subsection, paragraph and text location) in a transformer-based Dutch event coreference resolution model in order to more explicitly provide it with structural information.Results reveal that integrating this type of knowledge leads to a significant improvement in CONLL F1 for within-document settings (+ 8.6%) and a minor improvement for cross-document settings (+ 1.1%).
