Abstract

BACKGROUND: Coreference resolution is an essential task in information extraction from the published biomedical literature. It supports the discovery of complex information by linking referring expressions such as pronouns and appositives to their referents, which are typically entities that play a central role in biomedical events. Correctly establishing these links allows detailed understanding of all the participants in events, and connecting events together through their shared participants.
