Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Coreference resolution (CR) is a natural language processing (NLP) task that is concerned with finding all expressions within a single document that refer to the same entity. This makes it crucial in supporting downstream NLP tasks such as summarization, question answering and information extraction. Despite great progress in CR, our experiments have highlighted a substandard performance of the existing open-source CR tools in the clinical domain. We set out to explore some practical solutions to fine-tune their performance on clinical data.
