چکیده

We present a sequence of unsupervised, nonparametric Bayesian models for clustering complex linguistic objects. In this approach, we consider a potentially infinite number of features and categorical outcomes. We evaluated these models for the task of withinand cross-document event coreference on two corpora. All the models we investigated show significant improvements when compared against an existing baseline for this task.

A Hierarchical Distance-dependent Bayesian Model for Event Coreference Resolution

We present a novel hierarchical distancedependent Bayesian model for event coreference resolution. While existing generative models for event coreference resolution are completely unsupervised, our model allows for the incorporation of pairwise distances between event mentions — information that is widely used in supervised coreference models to guide the generative clustering processing for be...

Unsupervised Event Coreference Resolution with Rich Linguistic Features

This paper examines how a new class of nonparametric Bayesian models can be effectively applied to an open-domain event coreference task. Designed with the purpose of clustering complex linguistic objects, these models consider a potentially infinite number of features and categorical outcomes. The evaluation performed for solving both withinand cross-document event coreference shows significan...

Unsupervised Coreference Resolution in a Nonparametric Bayesian Model

We present an unsupervised, nonparametric Bayesian approach to coreference resolution which models both global entity identity across a corpus as well as the sequential anaphoric structure within each document. While most existing coreference work is driven by pairwise decisions, our model is fully generative, producing each mention from a combination of global entity properties and local atten...

Unsupervised Event Coreference Resolution

The task of event coreference resolution plays a critical role in many natural language processing applications such as information extraction, question answering, and topic detection and tracking. In this article, we describe a new class of unsupervised, nonparametric Bayesian models with the purpose of probabilistically inferring coreference clusters of event mentions from a collection of unl...

Chinese Event Coreference Resolution: An Unsupervised Probabilistic Model Rivaling Supervised Resolvers

Recent work has successfully leveraged the semantic information extracted from lexical knowledge bases such as WordNet and FrameNet to improve English event coreference resolvers. The lack of comparable resources in other languages, however, has made the design of high-performance non-English event coreference resolvers, particularly those employing unsupervised models, very difficult. We propo...
