Dari Dataset for Coreference Resolution

Abstract

DariCoref, a Dari corpus annotated for anaphoric relations, where all documents are collected from Dari VOA and Azadi Radio. The annotation scheme follows the OntoNotes and WikiCoref. Each markable annotated with coreference type (Identical, Attributive, and Copular), and mention type (Named Entity, Noun Phrase, and Pronominal). Since this is the first annotation efforts concentrate on very specific types of written text, mainly newswire, there is a lack of resources for Dari texts. Therefore, we present a freely available resource we devised for the task of coreference resolution algorithms dedicated to Dari texts. The annotation has been processed by MMAX2 tool.
