Evalita 2011: Anaphora Resolution Task

  • Conference paper
Book cover Evaluation of Natural Language and Speech Tools for Italian (EVALITA 2012)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 7689))

Abstract

This paper discusses the Anaphora Resolution task proposed as a track at the Evalita-2011 evaluation campaign for the Italian language. This task can be seen as a successor of the Evalita-2009 Local Entity Detection and Recognition (LEDR) track, expanding on the scope of addressed phenomena. The annotation guidelines have been designed to cover a large variety of linguistic issues related to anaphora/coreference.

We describe the annotation scheme, the evaluation methodology and the participants’ results.
