Using a set of measures that previously have been applied individually to different data sets, we find fairly clear patterns of {``}behavior{''} for the different genres/media. Besides their role for psycholinguistic investigation (why do we employ different coreference strategies when we write or speak) and for the placement of Twitter in the spoken{--}written continuum, we see our results as a contribution to approaching genre-/media-specific coreference resolution.","url_abs":"https://aclanthology.org/2020.coling-main.508","url_pdf":"https://aclanthology.org/2020.coling-main.508.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"variation-in-coreference-strategies-across","repo_url":"https://github.com/berfingit/coreference-variation","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"coreference-resolution","task_name":"Coreference Resolution"},{"task_slug":"coreference-resolution-1","task_name":"coreference-resolution"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
