Abstract

Most coreference resolvers rely heavily on string matching, syntactic properties, and semantic attributes of words, but they lack the ability to make decisions based on in- dividual words. In this paper, we ex- plore the benefits of lexicalized features in the setting of domain-specific corefer- ence resolution. We show that adding lexicalized features to off-the-shelf coref- erence resolvers yields significant perfor- mance gains on four domain-specific data sets and with two types of coreference res- olution architectures.
