It describes the difficulties when resolving co-reference in German text, the adaptation process and the features designed to address linguistic challenges brought forth by German. We report performance on the reference dataset T\u00fcBa-D/Z and include a post-task SemEval 2010 evaluation, showing that the resolver achieves state-of-the-art performance.

"text": "IMS HotCoref As a basis for the adaptation, we chose the English IMS HOTCoref system (Bj\u00f6rkelund and Kuhn, 2014) . It models co-reference within a document as a directed rooted tree. For learning, it adopts the idea of latent antecedents and exploits the tree structure for the purpose of non-local features, i.e. features that are not restricted to only the current pair of mentions. The learning algorithm has not been changed; for a detailed description of the system and the machine learning involved, please refer to the original paper. Data The reference corpus for co-reference resolution experiments on German is T\u00fcBa-D/Z 3 (Naumann, 2006) , a gold annotated newspaper corpus of 1.8 M tokens. To evaluate our system, we use version 10 as the newest dataset available as well as version 8 as this was used in the Se-mEval shared task. We adopt the official test, development and training set splits for the shared task data. For version 10, there was no standard split available, so we split the data ourselves. 4",

"text": "Markables The markables to be extracted can be defined by the user. The default markables for German are NPs with label NP or PN in the parse bit, personal pronouns (PPER), possessive pronouns (PPOSAT), relative pronouns (PRELS), demonstrative pronouns (PDS), reflexive pronouns (PRF) and named entities with the label LOC, PER, GPE and ORG. Using predicted annotations (tools involved are described in Section 7., the recall of the mention extraction module for T\u00fcBa-D/Z v10, is about 78%. The remaining 20% are not extracted mainly due to parsing errors. With gold annotations the recall is about 99%. Number and gender information In the English version, this information comes in the form of a lookup from lists created by Bergsma and Lin (2006) . For German (and other languages that feature grammatical gender), this type of information is much more essential, which is why we decided not to implement it as a lookup function, but rather include gender and number prediction in the pre-processing and rely on this predicted information. We have included short lookup lists for personal and possessive pronouns in case the morphological analyser does not predict a label. Head rules The system includes a module that tries to identify the syntactic head of certain syntactic phrases. The adapted rule for German noun phrases is to take the rightmost noun, if present, and if this fails, to look for the rightmost personal pronoun. If this also fails, there is a number of backup strategies to come up with the most proper solution.",

"text": "IMS HotCoref offers a wide range of language-independent features (single and pair-based). We ran a number of feature selection experiments and came up with a final set of features that performed best (included in the release). We additionally added a number of new features or changes that are explained in the following. There is also a number of new features implemented that are not explained here in detail. Please, have a look at the source code to see the different features available. Lemma-based rather than word form-based Whereas word-based features are effective for English, due to the rich inflection, they are less suitable for German. This is why we chose lemmata as a basis for all the features. The following example illustrates the difference, where a feature that captures the exact repetition of the word form suffices in English but where lemmata are needed for German. We have implemented two versions to treat these compound cases, a lazy one and a more sophisticated approach. The lazy version is a boolean feature that returns true if the lemma of the head of the anaphor span ends with the five same letters as the head of the antecedent span, not including derivatives ending with ung, nis, tum, schaft, heit or keit to avoid a match for cases like Regierung (government) and Formulierung (phrasing). The more sophisticated version uses the compound splitting tool COMPOST (Cap, 2014). The tool splits compounds into their morphemes using morphological rules and corpus frequencies. Split lists for T\u00fcBa-D/Z as produced by COMPOST have been integrated into the resolver. Split lists for new texts can be integrated via a parameter. In this case, the boolean feature is true if the two markables are compounds having the same head or if one markable is the head of the other markable that is a compound.",

"text": "We thus implemented a boolean feature that is true if two mentions have a similarity score of a defined threshold (cosine similarity of 0.8 in our experiments, can be adjusted), and false otherwise. We use a module in the co-reference resolver that extracts syntactic heads for every noun phrase that the constituency parses has predicted, in order to create our list of noun-noun pairs and their similarity values. To get the similarity values, we built a vector space from the SdeWaC corpus (Faa\u00df and Eckart, 2013) , part-of-speech tagged and lemmatised using TreeTagger (Schmid, 1994) . From the corpus, we extracted lemmatised sentences and trained a CBOW model (Mikolov et al., 2013) . This model builds distributed word vectors by learning to predict the current word based on a context. We use lemma-POS pairs as both target and context elements, 300 dimensions, negative sampling set to 15, and no hierarchical softmax. We used the DISSECT toolkit (Dinu et al., 2013) to compute the cosine similarity scores between all nouns of the corpus. F5/F6: Animacy and name information Three knowledge sources have been integrated that are taken from Klenner and Tuggener (2011): a list of words which refer to people, e.g. Politiker (politician) or Mutti (Mummy), a list of names which refer to females, e.g. Laura, Anne, and a list of names which refer to males, e.g. Michael, Thomas, etc. We use this information in two features: The first feature, called person match, is true if the anaphor is a masculine or feminine pronoun and the antecedent is on the people list. It is also true if the antecedent and the anaphor are both on the people list.",

"text": "Since then, only a few systems have been developed or improved. Ziering (2011) improved the scores of SU-CRE by integrating linguistic features. This results in an improvement of the average of MUC and B3 of about 5 points. It is however difficult to compare these numbers as the scorer scripts have changed and the system output as well as the system are not publicly available. Klenner and Tuggener (2011) implemented a rulebased incremental entity-mention co-reference-system that has since the SemEval shared task received the best results on newspaper data for German (it ws improved in Tuggener and Klenner (2014) ). Krug et al. (2015) compared their rule/pass-based system tailored to the domain of historic novels with CorZu in this specific domain, restricting coreference resolution to the resolution of persons, and found that their own system outperformed the rule-based CorZu. Mikhaylova (2014) adapted the IMS Coref system, a predecessor of IMS HotCoref, to German as part of a Master thesis. To the best of our knowledge, however this system was not made publicly available.",
