Abstract

In automatic coreference resolution the object is to identify when two noun phrases refer to the same entity in the world. In this paper I use the Dutch language Knack-2002 coreference annotated corpus and example-based supervised machine learning to experiment with adding semantic similarity features to a standard set of linguistic features used in previous work. I use the Cornetto database to add features for WordNet semantic classes and three semantic similarity metrics based on work by Lin (1998), Jiang and Conrath (1997) and Resnik (1995), respectively. Performance is tested using TiMBLs k-nearest neighbors algorithm on data split into sets with common noun, proper noun and pronoun anaphors; I find that the metric from Jiang & Conrath improves resolution for all noun types. All features combined improve resolution substantially: 21.1% over baseline for common nouns, 2.7% for pronouns and 11.4% for proper nouns.
