Inter-sentential Coreferences in Semantic Networks: An Evaluation of Manual Annotation

Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2008)

Abstract

We present an evaluation of inter-sentential coreference annotation in the context of manually created semantic networks. The semantic networks are constructed independently be each annotator and require an entity mapping priori to evaluating the coreference. We introduce a model used for mapping the semantic entities as well as an algorithm used for our evaluation task. Finally, we report the raw statistics for inter-annotator agreement and describe the inherent difficulty in evaluating coreference in semantic networks.
