Participants had to detect mentions, including zero mentions in pro-drop languages, and cluster them by identity coreference. The data came from CorefUD 1.3, with 22 datasets in 17 languages used in the task; new… 3. **[CorefUD 1.0: Coreference Meets Universal Dependencies](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nedoluzhko-2022-corefud-1-0-coreference-meets/)** *(2022)* Syntax has a shared multilingual annotation standard in Universal Dependencies, but coreference resolution has had no comparable standard: corpora define the phenomena differently and use different formats, so most systems are evaluated only on English OntoNotes. 4. **[Coreference meets Universal Dependencies – a pilot experiment on harmonizing coreference datasets for 11 languages](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nedoluzhko-2021-coreference-meets-universal-dependencies/)** *(2021)* The report converts 17 existing coreference datasets for 11 languages into one scheme based on Universal Dependencies. 5. **[Do UD Trees Match Mention Spans in Coreference Annotations?](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/coref-2021-popel-do-ud-trees-match-mention/)** *(2021)* Coreference mention spans in most corpora are plain token intervals, drawn without reference to syntax. The paper asks how often those spans match the subtrees of UD trees. It hand-checks mismatches in nine CorefUD datasets for eight languages. In eight of the nine, the trees come from UDPipe; English-GUM is the only… 6. **[Translation of "It" in a Deep Syntax Framework](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/novak-2013-translation-it-deep-syntax-framework/)** *(2013)* English "it" has no single Czech counterpart. It may be a personal pronoun or zero anaphor, a neuter demonstrative "to", or nothing at all in a cleft or pleonastic construction. The paper builds a discriminative classifier for these three classes inside the TectoMT deep-syntax system. The training data is the Prague… 7. **[Formemes in English-Czech Deep Syntactic MT](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/dusek-2012-formemes-english-czech-deep-syntactic/)** *(2012)* A formeme is a short label for the surface morpho-syntax of a node in a deep dependency tree. It has three parts: a syntactic part of speech, an optional preposition or conjunction, and a form such as a case number or a finite-clause marker. The paper revises the formemes used in the TectoMT English-Czech system to… ## Co-authors (12) - [Zdeněk Žabokrtský](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zdenek-zabokrtsku/) ×7 - [Anna Nedoluzhko](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/anna-nedoluzhko/) ×6 - [Martin Popel](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/martin-popel/) ×6 - [Daniel Zeman](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/daniel-zeman/) ×5 - [Jakub Sido](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jakub-sido/) ×2 - [Milan Straka](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/milan-straka/) ×2 - [Miloslav Konopík](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/miloslav-konopik/) ×2 - [Ondrej Prazak](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ondrej-prazak/) ×2 - [Amir Zeldes](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/amir-zeldes/) - [David Mareček](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/david-marecek/) - Martin Majliš - Ondřej Dušek ## More papers in the library (5) Pages of the Research library: our summary, the ideas, references and who cites each. - [Findings of the Second Shared Task on Multilingual Coreference Resolution](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/abokrtsky-2023-findings-second-shared-task-multilingual/) — Zdeněk Žabokrtský, Miloslav Konopik, Anna Nedoluzhko, et al. · 2023 - [The Universal Anaphora Scorer 2.0](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yu-2023-universal-anaphora-scorer-2-0/) — Juntao Yu, Michal Novák, Abdulrahman Aloraini, et al. · 2023 - [Projection-based Coreference Resolution Using Deep Syntax](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/novak-2017-projection-based-coreference-resolution-deep/) — Michal Novák, Anna Nedoluzhko, Zdeněk Žabokrtský · 2017 - [Coreference in Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nedoluzhko-2016-coreference-prague-czech-english-dependency/) — Anna Nedoluzhko, Michal Novák, Silvie Cinková, et al. · 2016 - [Cross-lingual Coreference Resolution of Pronouns](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/novak-2014-cross-lingual-coreference-resolution-pronouns/) — Michal Novák, Zdeněk Žabokrtský · 2014
