Arabic cross-document coreference detection

We describe a set of techniques for Arabic cross-document coreference resolution. We compare a baseline system of exact mention string-matching to ones that include local mention context information as well as information from an existing machine translation system. It turns out that the machine translation-based technique outperforms the baseline, but local entity context similarity does not. This helps to point the way for future cross-document coreference work in languages with few existing resources for the task.

Exploring example-based person search in email

Tan Xu; Douglas W. Oard

This paper describes an entity ranking model for example-based person search in email. Evaluation by comparison to manually resolved named references in Enron email yield results that correspond to typically placing the correct entity in the first or second rank.
