고유명사가 문장속에서 다시 언급될때는 여러 가지 변형된 형태로 나타난다. 즉 같은 의미의 이름으로 사용되면서 서로 다른 이름 형태를 갖게 된다. 이러한 경향은 coreference 처리를 어렵게 만든다. 본 논문에서는 고유명사의 coreference와 의미상으로 인식되지 않은 고유명사의 식별에 이용될 수 있는 효율적인 자료구조를 제시한다.

A mention has a noun or noun phrase as its head and constructs a chunk that defines any meaning, including a modifier. Mention detection refers to the extraction of mentions from a document. In mentions, coreference resolution refers to determining any mentions that have the same meaning. Pointer networks, which are models based on a recurrent neural network encoder-decoder, outputs a list of elements corresponding to an input sequence. In this paper, we propose mention detection using pointer networks. This approach can solve the problem of overlapped mention detection, which cannot be solved by a sequence labeling approach. The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed mention detection approach is F1 of 80.75%, which is 8% higher than rule-based mention detection, and the performance of the coreference resolution has a CoNLL F1 of 56.67% (mention boundary), which is 7.68% higher than coreference resolution using rule-based mention detection.

Coreference resolution is a task in discourse analysis that links several headwords used in any document object. We suggest pointer networks-based coreference resolution for Korean using multi-task learning (MTL) with an attention mechanism for a hierarchical structure. As Korean is a head-final language, the head can easily be found. Our model learns the distribution by referring to the same entity position and utilizes a pointer network to conduct coreference resolution depending on the input headword. As the input is a document, the input sequence is very long. Thus, the core idea is to learn the word- and sentence-level distributions in parallel with MTL, while using a shared representation to address the long sequence problem. The suggested technique is used to generate word representations for Korean based on contextual information using pre-trained language models for Korean. In the same experimental conditions, our model performed roughly 1.8% better on CoNLL F1 than previous research without hierarchical structure.

Coreference resolution finds all expressions that refer to the same entity in a document. Coreference resolution is important for information extraction, document classification, document summary, and question answering system. In this paper, we adapt Stanford's Multi-pass sieve system, the one of the best model of rule based coreference resolution to Korean. In this paper, all noun phrases are considered to mentions. Also, unlike Stanford's Multi-pass sieve system, the dependency parse tree is used for mention extraction, a Korean acronym list is built 'dynamically'. In addition, we propose a method that calculates weights by applying transitive properties of centers of the centering theory when refer Korean pronoun. The experiments show that our system obtains MUC 59.0%, $B_3$ 59.5%, Ceafe 63.5%, and CoNLL(Mean) 60.7%.

The information extraction is to delimit in advance, as part of the specification of the task, the semantic range of the output and to filter information from large volumes of texts. The most representative word of the document is composed of named entities and pronouns. Therefore, it is important to resolve coreference in order to extract the meaningful information in information extraction. Coreference resolution is to find name entities co-referencing real-world entities in the documents. Results of coreference resolution are used for name entity detection and template generation. This paper presents the heuristic-based approach for coreference resolution in Korean. We constructed the heuristics expanded gradually by using the corpus and derived the salience factors of antecedents as the importance measure in Korean. Our approach consists of antecedents selection and antecedents weighting. We used three kinds of salience factors that are used to weight each antecedent of the anaphor. The experiment result shows 80% precision.

The general method of machine learning has encountered disadvantages in terms of the significant amount of time and effort required for feature extraction and engineering in natural language processing. However, in recent years, these disadvantages have been solved using deep learning. In this paper, we propose a mention pair (MP) model using deep learning, and a system that combines both rule-based and deep learning-based systems using a guided MP as a coreference resolution, which is an information extraction technique. Our experiment results confirm that the proposed deep-learning based coreference resolution system achieves a better level of performance than rule- and statistics-based systems applied separately

We propose an end-to-end neural coreference resolution for the Korean language that uses an attention mechanism to point to the same entity. Because Korean is a head-final language, we focused on a method that uses a pointer network based on the head. The key idea is to consider all nouns in the document as candidates based on the head-final characteristics of the Korean language and learn distributions over the referenced entity positions for each noun. Given the recent success of applications using bidirectional encoder representation from transformer (BERT) in natural language-processing tasks, we employed BERT in the proposed model to create word representations based on contextual information. The experimental results indicated that the proposed model achieved state-of-the-art performance in Korean language coreference resolution.

Pointer Networks is a deep-learning model for the attention-mechanism outputting of a list of elements that corresponds to the input sequence and is based on a recurrent neural network (RNN). The coreference resolution for pronouns is the natural language processing (NLP) task that defines a single entity to find the antecedents that correspond to the pronouns in a document. In this paper, a pronoun coreference-resolution method that finds the relation between the antecedents and the pronouns using the Pointer Networks is proposed; furthermore, the input methods of the Pointer Networks-that is, the chaining order between the words in an entity-are proposed. From among the methods that are proposed in this paper, the chaining order Coref2 showed the best performance with an F1 of MUC 81.40 %. The method showed performances that are 31.00 % and 19.28 % better than the rule-based (50.40 %) and statistics-based (62.12 %) coreference resolution systems, respectively, for the Korean pronouns.

Sequence-to-sequence models and similar pointer networks suffer from performance degradation when an input is composed of multiple sentences or when the length of the input sentence is long. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a hierarchical pointer network model that uses both the word level and sentence level information to encode input sequences composed of several sentences at the word level and sentence level. We propose a hierarchical pointer network based coreference resolution that performs a coreference resolution for all mentions. The experimental results show that the proposed model has a precision of 87.07%, recall of 65.39% and CoNLL F1 74.61%, which is an improvement of 21.83% compared to an existing rule-based model.

In this paper, we suggest a Coreference Resolution system for Korean using Mention Pair with SVM. The system introduced in this paper, also be able to extract Mention from document which is including automatically tagged name entity information, dependency trees and POS tags. We also built a corpus, including 214 documents with Coreference tags, referencing online news and Wikipedia for training the system and testing the system's performance. The corpus had 14 documents from online news, along with 200 question-and-answer documents from Wikipedia. When we tested the system by corpus, the performance of the system was extracted by MUC-F1 55.68%, B-cube-F1 57.19%, and CEAFE-F1 61.75%.
