ICT: System Description for CoNLL 2012
In this paper, we present our system description for the CoNLL 2012 coreference resolution task on English, Chinese and Arabic. We investigate a projection based model in which we first translate Chinese and Arabic into English, run a publicly available coreference system, and then use a new projection algorithm to map the coreferring entities back from English into mention candidates detected in the Chinese and Arabic source. We compare to a baseline that just runs the English coreference system on the supplied parses for Chinese and Arabic. Because our method does not beat the baseline system on the development set, we submit outputs generated by the baseline system as our final submission.
