Neural Coreference Resolution with Deep Biaffine Attention by Joint Mention Detection and Mention Clustering
share
Coreference resolution aims to identify in a text all mentions that refer to the same real-world entity. The state-of-the-art end-to-end neural coreference model considers all text spans in a document as potential mentions and learns to link an antecedent for each possible mention. In this paper, we propose to improve the end-to-end coreference resolution system by (1) using a biaffine attention model to get antecedent scores for each possible mention, and (2) jointly optimizing the mention detection accuracy and the mention clustering log-likelihood given the mention cluster labels. Our model achieves the state-of-the-art performance on the CoNLL-2012 Shared Task English test set.
