They had a chat» cannot be resolved: they refers to two separately introduced entities. The paper builds the first model for this split-antecedent case in general, on ARRAU (news, dialogue, fiction, medical; 507 training anaphors), with gold… 5. **[Using Automatically Extracted Minimum Spans to Disentangle Coreference Evaluation from Boundary Detection](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/moosavi-2019-automatically-extracted-minimum-spans-disentangle/)** *(2019)* Scoring coreference by maximum spans mixes coreference errors with boundary errors such as PP attachment: «an extensive presence» and «an extensive presence, of course in this country» count as different mentions, and the system is penalised as if it had linked the wrong thing. 6. **[ARRAU: Linguistically-Motivated Annotation of Anaphoric Descriptions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/uryupina-2016-arrau-linguistically-motivated-annotation-anaphoric/)** *(2016)* The paper presents the second release of ARRAU, a multi-domain corpus for anaphora. Its domains are news (from the RST Discourse Treebank), task-oriented dialogue (TRAINS), fiction (PEAR) and medical leaflets (GNOME). Release 2 has 552 documents, 348,072 tokens and 99,582 markables. Release 1 had 264 documents… 7. **[Merging PropBank, NomBank, TimeBank, Penn Discourse Treebank and Coreference](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pustejovsky-2005-merging-propbank-nombank-timebank-penn/)** *(2005)* Separate annotation projects each cover one part of semantics: PropBank and NomBank (predicate-argument structure of verbs and nouns), TimeBank (events, times and their links), the Penn Discourse Treebank (connectives as predicates), and Essex coreference (MATE scheme). 8. **[Identifying Broken Plurals in Unvowelised Arabic Text](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/aclbulk-2004-goweder-identifying-broken-plurals-unvowelised-arabic/)** *(2004)* Broken plurals (formed by changing the consonant pattern of the singular, not by adding a suffix) cannot be undone by affix stripping, so a light stemmer leaves them as separate stems. ## Co-authors (21) -
