Abstract
Creating a coreference resolution tool for a new language is a challenging task due to substantial effort required by development of associated linguistic data, regardless of rule-based or statistical nature of the approach. In this paper, we test the translation- and projection-based method for an inflectional language, evaluate the result on a corpus of general coreference and compare the results with state-of-the-art solutions of this type for other languages.
The work reported here was carried out within the Computer-based methods for coreference resolution in Polish texts (CORE) project financed by the Polish National Science Centre (contract number 6505/B/T02/2011/40) and University Research Program for Google Translate.
